for part B, it sounds like
x = number of miles
y = number of gallons of gas used
so x will go by 30 and y will increase by 10 each time
OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):
Okay! Thank you :)
OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):
so is that the answer?
OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):
I'm confused?

@jim_thompson5910 are you there?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh I see now, it was in reverse
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok one sec
OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):
okay :)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for part A, you should have
20 mi/gal = 8.50287415 km/L
this is approximate and of course you should how you got that

you are close though and yes, car 2 is the better choice
OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):
oh okay got it, thank you for correcting me
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for part B, you're going to graph. They ask you to set up the scales so x will increase by 30 each time and y will increase by 1 each time (until y reaches y = 10)
this is assuming
x = number of miles
y = number of gallons of gas used
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you're going to be graphing for car 2 since that has the better mileage
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
do you know what the graph will look like?

what does "14 km per liter" convert to in terms of miles per gallon?

this might take a min

33 miles per gallon?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's approximately 32.9300417 mpg, so close enough
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
33 mpg means that you can go 33 miles on one gallon
