Using a city street route, Joey drives at an average speed of 36 miles per hour, and it takes him 1 hour to get to work.

Which quantities would be used to determine the total cost for Joey to drive to work using the highway? Choose all that apply. A. 0.5 hours B. 1 hour C. $1.25 per car D. $3.05 per gallon E. 27 miles per gallon F. 35 miles per gallon G. 36 miles per hour H. 54 miles per hour

Answer 2

The quantities that would be used to determine the total cost for Joey to derive to work using the highway are:

A. 0.5 hours

C. $1.25 per car

D. $3.05 per gallon

F. 35 miles per gallon

H. 54 miles per hour

Explanation:

Cost of a gallon of gas = $3.05

Distance travelled per gallon on the highway = 35 miles

Distance travelled per gallon in the city = 27 miles

Joey's average speed using the highway = 54 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the highway = 0.5 hours

Toll on the highway = $1.25

Joey's average speed using the city street route = 36 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the city street route = 1 hour

Relevant data for highway driving total costs:

Cost of a gallon of gas = $3.05

Distance travelled per gallon on the highway = 35 miles

Joey's average speed using the highway = 54 miles per hour

Number of hours to get to work using the highway = 0.5 hours

Toll on the highway = $1.25

Total costs for using the highway = $1.25 + ($3.05/35 * 54 * 0.5) = $3.60
