Question

(HELP ME MY GRADES ARE DUE TMRO) Two friends, Arianna and Bo, had just bought their first cars. Bo uses 2

gallons of gas to drive 41.4 miles in his car. The table below represents
the number of miles, y, that Arianna can drive her car for every x
gallons of gas.

Answer 1

Explanation:

104.4 divided by 4 = 26.1

Answer 2

The number of miles that Arianna can travel on one gallon of gas more than Bo is 5.4 miles

How much further can Arianna travel on one gallon of gas more than Bo?

Bo:

Distance = 41.4 miles

Gas = 2 gallons

Unit rate = 41.4 miles / 2 gallons

= 20.7 miles per gallon

Arianna:

Distance = 104.4 miles

Gas = 4 gallons

Unit rate = 104.4 miles / 4 gallons

= 26.1 miles per gallon

Hence,

Distance more Arianna can travel than Bo = 26.1 - 20.7

= 5.4 miles
