In order to determine which vehicle gets better gas mileage, we need to determine which of the two vehicles consumes less gas for each mile travelled. The car consumes 1 gallon of gas for every 32 miles. We shall now determine how many miles the truck covers to consume 1 gallon of gas.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Truck} \\ 9.75gl=260\text{miles} \\ 1gl=\frac{260}{9.75}\text{miles} \\ 1gl=26.67miles \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Car} \\ 1gl=32\text{miles} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the results shows that the truck gets better gas mileage
