Answer:

A car is more fuel efficient and it goes 30 miles per gallon (5/12 gallon to travel 12 1/2 miles)

Explanation:

A car : 5/12 gallon to travel 12 1/2 miles

(12 1/2) / (5/12) =

(25/2) / (5/12) =

25/2 * 12/5 =

150/5 =

30 miles per gallon

B car : 5/7 gallon to travel 20 5/7 miles

(20 5/7) / (5/7) =

(145/7) / (5/7) =

145/7 * 7/5 =

145/5 =

29 miles per gallon

most fuel efficient is A car....it gets 30 miles per gallon
