Write a short statement that expresses a possible relationship between the variables. Gas mileage of car, cost of driving 500 miles

D) As the gas mileage increases, the cost of driving a fixed distance increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the variables

X₁: Gas mileage of a car

X₂: Cost of driving 500 miles

Normally the variable that changes more is the gas mileage of the car, depending on the type of the car or the age of different cars from the same model and brand, the amount of gas used to cover a fixed distance varies.

From a logical point of view you'd expect that the more gas the car consumes, the more it will cost to drive a fixed distance. So the correct option is D)

Options:

A) As the gas mileage increases, the cost of driving a fixed distance decreases.

B) As the cost of driving a fixed distance increases, the gas mileage decreases.

C) As the cost of driving a fixed distance decreases, the gas mileage increases.

D) As the gas mileage increases, the cost of driving a fixed distance increases.

I hope this helps!
