Chapter 1.5, Problem 1.4.1PE
Ellen recently purchased a new hybrid car and wants to check her gas mileage. At an odometer setting of 651.1 mi, she fills the tank. At 1314.4 mi, she requires 16.1 gal to refill the tank. Assuming that the tank is filled to the same level both times, how is the gas mileage best expressed?
- 40 mi/gal
- 41 mi/gal
- 41.2 mi/gal
- 41.20 mi/gal
