Question

an automobile study reports the number of miles driven for different amounts of gas. which car travels the farthest on 1 gallon of gas? answer questions 5-8.click the icon to see the information about each cars gas mileage.5. complete the ratio table for car a.| miles driven | gallons of gas || ---- | ---- || 60 | 4 || 120 | 8 || 180 | 12 || 240 | 16 || 300 | 20 || 600 | 40 |6. what do you know? what are you asked to find?you know that car a gets □ miles per 8 gallons, car b gets □ miles per 5 gallons, and car c gets □ miles per 3 gallons. you need to find which car has(type whole numbers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find Car A's mpg

Calculate miles per gallon for Car A using any row: $\frac{60}{4} = 15$

Step2: Find Car B's mpg

Calculate miles per gallon for Car B: $\frac{120}{8} = 15$

Step3: Find Car C's mpg

Calculate miles per gallon for Car C: $\frac{180}{12} = 15$

Step4: Compare all cars' mpg

All three cars have 15 mpg, so they travel the same distance per gallon.

Step5: Fill Car A's table values

For 12 gallons: $15 \times 12 = 180$
For 240 miles: $\frac{240}{15} = 16$
For 20 gallons: $15 \times 20 = 300$
For 600 miles: $\frac{600}{15} = 40$

Step6: Answer Q6 known/unknown

Known: MPG rates for all 3 cars.
Unknown: Which car travels farthest per gallon.

Answer:

Completed Car A Ratio Table:

Miles Driven	Gallons of Gas
120	8
180	12
240	16
300	20
600	40

Question 6:

Known: Car A gets 120 miles per 8 gallons, Car B gets 180 miles per 12 gallons, Car C gets 240 miles per 16 gallons.
Asked to find: Which car travels the farthest on 1 gallon of gas.

Final Comparison Answer:

All three cars travel the same distance (15 miles) on 1 gallon of gas.
