You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 40 1/2 miles on 1 1/4

gallons of gasoline. Another car is red, it can travel 28 4/5

miles on 4/5

gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car ? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline

the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on

1 gallon of gasoline?

add an image, and i will answer

step-by-step explanation:

twenty-six miles over two gallons because the proportion for the original 13 miles to one gallon would be written 13/1 and, doing the same thing to the top and bottom, i multiplied by 2 and got 26/2

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
