You are estimating the fuel consumption gallons per mile for

You are estimating the fuel consumption (gallons per mile) for intermediate armored vehicles based on the horsepower of the vehicle. The vehicle for which you are estimating has 4.29 hundred horsepower. Given the following equation, select the correct response from each pair. Fuel Consumption = -0.03+0.22 (Horsepower in hundreds)

Solution

We have equation :

Fuel consumption = -0.03 + 0.22 * ( Horse power in hundreds )

We have given 4.29 hundred horsepower.

Fuel consumption = -0.03 + 0.22 * ( Horse power in hundreds )                         

                            = -0.03 + 0.22 * 4.29

              = 0.9138

Hence the fuel consumption is 0.9138 gallons per mile for 4.29 hudred horsepower.
