Answer:

decrease.

Explanation:

The air pressure is given by

P = h x d x g

where, h is the height of air column above the surface and g be the acceleration due to gravity and d be the density of air.

As we go up, the height of air column decreases, density of air decreases and acceleration due to gravity also decreases, so the value of pressure decreases at altitudes.

Part A:
( 5,000 : 100 ) * 6 = 300 lit.
300 lit. * 1.066 Euros/ lit. = 318.9 Euros
1 Euro = 1.20 USD
318.9 * 1.20 = 382.68 USD

Part B :
6 lit./100 km = 0.06 lit/1 km
1 gal = 3.7853 lit.
1 mile = 1.609344 km
0.06 : 3.7853 = 0.01585
... = 0.01585 gal / 1 km / * 1.609344
= 0.0255 gal/mile
