<h3>Answer: A) Toyota Prius</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

To get the mileage per gallon, you divide the number of miles over the number of gallons.

For the Chevy Volt, the mileage is 571.95/12.3 = 46.5 miles per gallon (mpg)

For the Prius, the mpg rating is 753.48/15.6 = 48.3

So the Toyota gets the better mileage per gallon.

---------

If you're curious why we divide the numbers like that, consider this example

You drive 200 miles using 5 gallons of gas. We can form the ratio

200 miles : 5 gallons

To get the mpg rating, we need to know how many miles we can drive on 1 gallon of gas. So we divide both sides by 5

200/5 miles : 5/5 gallons

40 miles : 1 gallon

This hypothetical situation leads to 40 mpg

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let p¼ = a, q¼ = b

L.H.S. = (a - b)(a + b)(a² + b²) = (a² - b²)(a² + b²) = (a²)² - (b²)² = p - q = R.H.S.
