Answer:
A. No, the estimate should be higher
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the maximum number of gallons of fuel the car can consume, we express this as;
Maximum miles driven=highest consumption per gallon×Maximum gallons
where;
Maximum miles driven per person=64 mile
Maximum miles driven=64×4=256 miles
highest consumption per gallon=24.56 miles per gallon
Maximum gallons=g
replacing;
256=24.56×g
24.56 g=256
g≥256/24.56=10.42 gallons
g≥10.42 gallons
No, the estimate should be higher
