Write a short statement that expresses a possible relationship between the variables. (gas mileage of a car comma cost of driving a fixed distance )(gas mileage of a car, cost of driving a fixed distance)

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate at which a car consumes car varies, it depends on the car and the way the roads is i.e sloppy and co. There are other factors that effect the rate of consumption.

Let analyse for a give car.

First, the owner of the car need to determine the fuel consumption rate per distance.

i.e he will Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car’s average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.

For example a car traveled 300miles and uses 15 gallon of fuel

Then, the fuel consumption rate is

R=distance travelled/volume of fuel

R=300/15

R=20miles per gallon

R=20mpg

Now, we need to know the cost he will apply this

He will take the average price that he pay at the pumps per gallon and divide that by the number you found when he calculated mpg for your car.

This means that

Price/gallon ÷ miles/gallon= price/miles

So now know the price per mile

Once he found out how much it costs him to travel per unit of measure, he can apply that price to the distance of whatever trip he his planning. This will tell him how much a given trip will cost.

Knowing these amounts can help him improve both his fuel efficiency and his savings every time he drive.
