Question

Anna's cars can travel to 8 miles on 6 gallons of gas write an equation to represent the distance y and mild and car driven on x gallons of gas

Answer 1

a.
`y=38x`.

Explanation:

Let y represent distance in miles and x represent gallons of gas.

a. First of all, we will find mileage of Ann's car by dividing total distance traveled by total fuel consumed.

Mileage of Ann's Car:
`=(228 miles)/(6 gallons)`

Mileage of Ann's Car:
`=(38 miles)/(gallon)`

Since Ann's can travels 38 miles per gallon, so distance covered by using x gallons on gas would be
`38x` .

Therefore, our required equation would be
`y=38x`.
