To determine how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses Good Gas instead of Go Gas, we need to compare the miles driven per gallon for each brand.
For Go Gas:
5.5 gallons of gas = 170.5 miles driven
10.2 gallons of gas = 316.2 miles driven
12 gallons of gas = 372 miles driven
14.5 gallons of gas = 449.5 miles driven
For Good Gas:
3.75 gallons of gas = 127.5 miles driven
9.4 gallons of gas = 319.6 miles driven
12.6 gallons of gas = 428.4 miles driven
16 gallons of gas = 544 miles driven
To find the miles per gallon for each brand, we divide the miles driven by the gallons of gas used:
For Go Gas:
170.5 miles driven / 5.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
316.2 miles driven / 10.2 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
372 miles driven / 12 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
449.5 miles driven / 14.5 gallons of gas = 31 miles per gallon
For Good Gas:
127.5 miles driven / 3.75 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
319.6 miles driven / 9.4 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
428.4 miles driven / 12.6 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
544 miles driven / 16 gallons of gas = 34 miles per gallon
By comparing the miles per gallon for each brand, we can see that Gabi can go 3 more miles per gallon if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car.
