3rd assignment

This assignment is worth 15 points and will be due October 17, 2008. So, continuing on from Assignment #3, complete the following:1) Check out this article:http://www.bts.gov/publications/omnistats/volume_03_issue_04/html/entire.html2) Let's say you are an "average" American based on that article. How many total miles are spent driving to work in one week?) Now, if you are like a typical American, you are doing more driving than just to work and back. In an average week, I drive around 350 miles per week! Use this equation, 350/mpg x P = T (mpg = whatever your car's mpg is, P = local gas price, T = total cost) to find out how much you will spend on gas in one week. Bonus - could you write an equation to find out how much you spend on gas in one month?And finally, if you didn't originally chose a hybrid car, are you interested in one now??!! If so, check this out: http://www.hybridcars.com/ and let me know what you think! ...And kudos to ones who already did! :)





If I was an average american i would spend 105 miles driving to work in one week. I would spend 39.46 dollars in a week. My equation is 39.46x4=157 for a month. I do not want a hybrid car. I like mine.
