Manufacturers often advertise the miles per gallon, or mpg, for the cars they make. This measurement is a special kind of rate called a unit rate, because it is the mileage for one unit (one gallon) of gasoline. Calculate the unit rate (mpg) for each car in problem 7-24. List the cars in order from highest mpg to lowest. Explain how you made this calculation.

Astudent draws two parabolas both parabolas cross the x axis at (-4,0) and (6,0) the y intercept of the first parabolas is (0,-12). the y intercept of the second parabola is (0,-24) what is the positive difference between the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas
