Question

Car A travels 702 miles on 12 gallons of gasoline car b travels 873 miles and 15 gallons of gasoline David wants to buy a car with the lowest fuel canister find out the distance traveled by each car per gallon of gasoline then tell which of the two cars AorB David should by

Answer 1

David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distance traveled by Car A = $d_A = 702\ miles$

Gallons used by Car A = $g_A = 12$

Distance traveled by Car B = $d_B = 873\ miles$

Gallons used by Car B = $g_B = 15$

In order to find the distance traveled on one gallon, we will divide the total distance by number of gallons

So,

Distance traveled by Car A in one gallon = $\frac{702}{12} =58.5\ miles\ per\ gallon$

Distance traveled by Car B in one gallon = $\frac{873}{15} = 58.2\ miles\ per\ gallon$

We can see that Car A travels more distance in one gallon that is 58.5 miles per gallon

So,

David should buy Car A because it covers more miles in one gallon than Car B
