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

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. [tex]y=38x[/tex].

Step-by-step 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: [tex]=\frac{228 miles}{6 gallons}[/tex]

Mileage of Ann's Car:[tex]=\frac{38 miles}{gallon}[/tex]

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

Therefore, our required equation would be [tex]y=38x[/tex].
