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?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

this is what i have so far :

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

@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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

nope, i don't really know.. :/

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

it will be an increasing graph

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

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

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

this might take a min

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

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

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so we have the point (33,1) |dw:1422157203860:dw|
