Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
![### Fuel Efficiency Conversion
**Problem:**
Michael gets an average of 23.1 miles per gallon on his cross-Canada road trip. What is that in kilometers per liter? Round to three significant digits.
There are no graphs or diagrams within the image.
**Conversion Steps:**
1. **Convert miles to kilometers:**
- 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.60934 kilometers.
- Therefore, 23.1 miles ≈ 23.1 * 1.60934 = 37.1778 kilometers.
2. **Convert gallons to liters:**
- 1 gallon (US) is approximately 3.78541 liters.
- Therefore, the fuel efficiency of 23.1 miles per gallon can be converted to kilometers per liter:
\[
\frac{37.1778 \text{ kilometers}}{3.78541 \text{ liters}} ≈ 9.819 km/l
\]
**Solution:**
Michael’s fuel efficiency is approximately **9.82 kilometers per liter**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8918ac98-5bcf-465f-8c11-409b4d478a84%2F1ef8d062-61de-4851-a5c7-895693d674bd%2F28c246z8.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
