Question

Mr. Anderson drove 522 miles on 15.35 gallons of gas. Mr. Gladden drove 548 miles on 15.22 gallons of gas. Which car is getting the better mileage per gallon? %C2%A0(6.RP.3.d)(1 point)

Answer 1

To find which car is getting better mileage per gallon, we need to calculate the miles per gallon (MPG) for each car.

For Mr. Anderson:
MPG = Miles / Gallons
MPG = 522 miles / 15.35 gallons
MPG ≈ 34.02

For Mr. Gladden:
MPG = Miles / Gallons
MPG = 548 miles / 15.22 gallons
MPG ≈ 35.99

Comparing the MPG values, Mr. Gladden's car is getting better mileage per gallon.
