Question 967601
Uniform Rates for Fuel Efficiency.
RV=D relating fuel efficiency (which is a rate), volume of fuel, distance traveled.


Treat this problem description as you would for a travel uniform-rates problem.



_________________rate____________volume____________distance
car1_____________40_____________(____)_____________(_____)
car2_____________15_____________(____)_____________(_____)
Totals___________________________45________________1425


Rate is MILES per GALLON;
Volume is GALLONS
Distance is MILES.


Just assign variables for the volume of car1 and the volume of car2, different variable for EACH OF THEM.


<s>I leave the rest of this to you.</s>

Here is a continuation:

n for car oNe
w for car tWo



_________________rate____________volume____________distance
car1_____________40________________n________________40n
car2_____________15________________w________________15w
Totals___________________________45________________1425


NOW, I leave the rest of the process to you.
