- The Mitchell family took a road trip from Detroit to Toronto. Their route was 750 kilometers long and required 54liters of gas. (a) What was the fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?

Assuming they get the samemileage as you calculated in part a, calculate the cost of their 1060-mile route if gasoline costs $2.35 pergallon.arrow_forwardDr. Neil Goodman, Professor of Fine Arts at Indiana University Northwest, encountered the following (true story - the numbers are changed to protect the innocent): He won a contract to create a bronze sculpture in a shape of a 1/2 inch thick sphere in front of Soldier Field Stadium in Chicago. Originally, his proposal was to create a sphere with 36 inches in diameter, however he decided to increase the size of the sculpture and create one with 42 inches in diameter. The weight of bronze is approximately 0.315 pounds per cubic inch of material. The cost was about $200 per pound of material (without accounting for everything - just basic cost). What is the difference in this basic cost between creating a sculpture with diameter 36 inches versus the one with 42 inches?
