To compare the miles per gallon (MPG) of the two cars based on the distance traveled and gasoline used, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Miles per Gallon (MPG)} = \frac{\text{Distance Traveled (miles)}}{\text{Gallons of Gasoline Used}} \]
Let's assume we have data from the table and graph. Since I don't have the specific figures from the image you mentioned, I will illustrate how to perform the calculations using hypothetical values.
For Car A:
- Distance traveled: 300 miles
- Gallons of gasoline used: 10 gallons
Using the formula: \[ \text{MPG for Car A} = \frac{300 \text{ miles}}{10 \text{ gallons}} = 30 \text{ MPG} \]
For Car B:
- Distance traveled: 400 miles
- Gallons of gasoline used: 12 gallons
Using the formula: \[ \text{MPG for Car B} = \frac{400 \text{ miles}}{12 \text{ gallons}} = \approx 33.33 \text{ MPG} \]
Comparison:
- Car A has approximately 30 MPG.
- Car B has approximately 33.33 MPG.
Conclusion:
In this example, Car B has a higher miles per gallon (MPG) than Car A. To finalize your answer, replace the hypothetical values with the actual data you have from the table and graph you referenced, and follow the same method to compare the two cars.
If you provide the specific distances and gallons for each car, I can help you with the calculations!
