Explanation Heap: It is a data structure which consist of “nodes” that contains values in them. A heap in the top have a node which is considered as root node, which may have child nodes connected to it. Every child node further may have nodes connected to it that makes the heap wider with every child node. On visual display, a heap appears similar to a tree which is upside down. Every heap node may contain number of child nodes connected to it, generally most heaps limit each node to two children. Binary heap tree They are known as binary heaps and used for sorted data storage. Example: - say a “binary max heap” which store the maximum value in the topmost node known as the root node. The children node of the topmost node contains the second and the third highest values. Thus, throughout the tree every node contains a higher value in comparison to its child nodes. While in a “min binary heap” the root or topmost node contains the least value and every child node contains the higher value in comparison to parent node.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 16 kilometers per liter of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 18 kilometers per liter of gas. During one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 3150 kilometers, for a total gas consumption of 190 liters. How many liters were consumed by each of the two cars that week? Note that the ALEKS graphing calculator can be used to make computations easier. First car: liters ? Second car:|liters
