To determine the number of more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas, we need to compare the miles driven per gallon for both brands.
For Go Gas:
- 5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 170.5 / 5.5 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles driven (miles per gallon = 316.2 / 10.2 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 12.0 gallons of gas = 372.0 miles driven (miles per gallon = 372.0 / 12.0 = 31 miles/gallon)
- 14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 449.5 / 14.5 = 31 miles/gallon)
For Good Gas:
- 3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles driven (miles per gallon = 127.5 / 3.75 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles driven (miles per gallon = 319.6 / 9.4 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles driven (miles per gallon = 428.4 / 12.6 = 34 miles/gallon)
- 16.0 gallons of gas = 544.0 miles driven (miles per gallon = 544.0 / 16.0 = 34 miles/gallon)
Comparing the miles per gallon for both brands, we can see that Gabi can go 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
Use the tables to answer the question.
