please please please please please please please please please help me with this A sub-compact car has a 10 gallon fuel tank and has a range of 320 miles for city driving and 410 miles range on highway. What are the fuel efficiency ratings (mpg) for this vehicle for the CITY and HIGHWAY driving respectively?

OpenStudy (legomyego180):

So the car can get 320 miles with 10 gallons of gas. You are trying to find how many miles the car can get on one gallon of gas, for this you need to divide. 320/10=32mpg same thing for part B

OpenStudy (campayne):

i did that and i know the answer is 41 but the thing wont accept it

OpenStudy (legomyego180):
