Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the cars are blue. it can travel 31 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. Converting 31 1/2 miles to decimal, it becomes 31.5 miles. Converting 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline to decimal, it becomes 1.25 gallons of gasoline.

Therefore, the miles per gallon for the blue car is

31.5/1.25 = 25.2 miles per gallon.

Another car is red it can travel 28 4/5 miles on 4/5 gallon of gasoline.

Converting 28 4/5 miles to decimal, it becomes 28.8 miles. Converting 4/5 gallons of gasoline to decimal, it becomes 0.8 gallons of gasoline.

Therefore, the miles per gallon for the red car is

28.8/0.8 = 36 miles per gallon.
