Demarco has two cars: an SUV and a compact car. the fuel efficiency of the compact car is 1 7/12 times better than the SUV. If the SUV gets 16 miles per gallon, find the fuel efficiency of the compact car.

Respuesta :

Fuel efficiency of compact car = [tex]\frac{17}{12}[/tex] * Fuel efficiency of the SUV

Fuel efficiency of SUV = . 16 miles per gallon

⇒ Fuel efficiency of compact car = [tex]\frac{17}{12}[/tex] * 16

⇒ Fuel efficiency of compact car = 22.67 miles per gallon


Answer:

The fuel efficiency of the compact car is 25.33 miles/gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel efficiency of the an SUV = x = 16 miles/gallons

The fuel efficiency of the a compact care= y

Given: [tex]y=1\frac{7}{12}\times x[/tex]

[tex]=y=\frac{19}{12}\times x[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{19}{12}\times 16 miles/gallon=25.33 miles/gallons[/tex]

The fuel efficiency of the compact car is 25.33 miles/gallon.
