1. Factor the expression 

2. Since
is placed in the denominator of the given expression, then 
3. Now the expression can be simplified:

No because they 90 to 200 is 110 but 200 to 325 is 125
110 obviously does not equal 125
Answer:
The car uses less gas
They use the same amount of gas after
miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The table represents the car mileage
--- The van
First, calculate the car's slope (m)

From the table, we have:

So, we have:



Calculate the equation using:



implies that for every mile traveled, the car uses 1/40 gallon of gas
Also:
--- The van
By comparison to: 

This implies that for every mile traveled, the van uses 1/5 gallon of gas.
By comparison:

This means that the car uses less gas
Solving (b): Distance traveled for them to use the same amount of gas.
We have:
--- The van
--- The car
