Answer:

m=25g  direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

In this problem

Let

m------> the number of miles traveled

g------> the number of gallons used

we have that

\frac{125}{5}\frac{miles}{gallons}=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

\frac{175}{7}\frac{miles}{gallons}=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

The linear direct variation that represent the situation is equal to the equation

\frac{m}{g}=k  or m=kg

where

k is the constant of proportionality

In a direct variation the constant k is equal to the slope m of the line, and the line passes through the origin

k=25\frac{miles}{gallons}

substitute

m=kg -------> m=25g

First find out how much in that one week, the amount of miles per gallon

125/5 = 25, or 25 mpg

Find out how much for the next week

175/7 = 25, or 25 mpg

Note: 
g = gallons
m = miles

you're equation will be:
m = 25(g)

For every gallon (g), you multiply it by 25 to get miles (m).


hope this helps

For each factor variable, each has a number of different conditions ;

For smoking : 2 conditions (smoking and not smoking)

Drinking : 3 conditions (no alcohol, 1 / day ; several per day)

Partying : 3 conditions (no partying, 1 hour of partying / day, 2 hours of partying / day)

Total number of conditions :

(2 * 3 * 3) = 18 conditions
