Answer:

The answer to your question is car 1 = 30 gal and car 1 = 20 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

car 1 = a

car 2 = b

Efficiency of car 1 = 35 mi/gal

Efficiency for car 2 = 20 mi/gal

Total distance = 1450

Total gas consumption = 50 gal

Equations

                          35a + 20b = 1450            ------- (I)

                             a   +     b =  50               ------- (II)

Solve by elimination

Multiply equation II by -35

                          35a  + 20b  = 1450

                         -35a  - 35b   = -1750

Simplify

                            0    - 15b    =  -300

Solve for b

                                        b =  -300/-15

Result

                                        b = 20

Substitute b in equation II to find a

                               a +  20  = 50

Solve for a

                               a  = 50 -20

Result

                               a  = 30

Answer:

C) A histogram because the class organizes the data into different ranges or intervals.

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of numerical data. It is an approximate approach that groups a set of data into ranges on the x axis and having their match frequencies on the y axis.

A histogram makes it possible to represent a large amount of data and frequency in just one graph because of the interval/range option.

Because Mariner Middle school has a large number of students (550) and their height organized into equal intervals, the histogram is the best option.
