Answer:

38 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial efficiency = 39 mpg

Initial speed = 40 mph

Final speed = 50 mph

The efficiency drop  between 40 mph and 50 mph is given by:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*\Delta V

The total efficiency drop from 40 to 50 mph is:

E_d = 0.1 \frac{mpg}{mph}*(50-40)mph\\E_d = 1\ mpg

Therefore, the efficiency at 50 mph is:

E_{50} = E_{40} -E_d\\E_{50} = 39 -1\\E_{50} = 38\ mpg
