1) Jacques ordered more gas than Kyoko
2) Kyoko ordered more gas than Jacques
3) Jacques ordered the same amount of gas as Kyoko
4) Cannot be determined from the given information

Answer 1

The difference between the orders placed by Jacques and Kyoko cannot be determined from the given information. The correct answer is:Cannot be determined from the given information

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the orders placed by Jacques and Kyoko can be determined from the given information. Jacques ordered 5 gallons of gas, while Kyoko ordered $20 worth of gas. Since the price of gas is not provided, we cannot compare the specific quantity of gas in gallons that Kyoko ordered. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4) Cannot be determined from the given information. The difference between the orders placed by Jacques and Kyoko cannot be determined from the given information. Jacques ordered 5 gallons of gas, while Kyoko ordered $20 worth of gas. The volume of gas that corresponds to $20 depends on the current price per gallon, which is not provided. Therefore, we cannot determine who ordered more gas based on the information given. The correct answer is:Cannot be determined from the given information
