Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

Lucy can travel
miles
than Nora on one gallon of gas.

Answer 1

To determine how many miles Lucy and Nora can travel on one gallon of gas, we need to calculate their miles per gallon (MPG).

**For Lucy:**
- Miles driven: 440,7440.7 miles
- Gallons used: 1313 gallons

MPG for Lucy = Total miles / Total gallons
= 440,7440.7 miles / 1313 gallons ≈ 335.438 miles per gallon

**For Nora:**
- Miles driven: 324,324 miles
- Gallons used: 88 gallons

MPG for Nora = Total miles / Total gallons
= 324,324 miles / 88 gallons ≈ 3686.5 miles per gallon

**Now, compare the two:**

- Lucy's MPG: ≈ 335.438
- Nora's MPG: ≈ 3686.5

Thus, we can fill in the blanks as follows:

Lucy can travel **less** miles **per gallon of gas** than Nora on one gallon of gas.
