Why did you post this again?
A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1250 miles, for a total gas consumption of 35 gallons. How many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?
