No explanations are necessary, although you might find them helpful. E. In the United States the efficiency of a car is specified by how many miles per gallon (MPG) it gets. In Europe, a car's efficiency is denoted by how many liters it consumes per 100 kilometers (LPK) of travel. Which of the following is true of an efficient car? Choose the right one and explain your reasoning below. a. It has a high MPG and a high LPK. b. It has a high MPG and a low LPK. c. It has a low MPG and a low LPK. d. It has a low MPG and a high LPK. e. Its MPG is equal to its LPK.

Explanation / Answer

D. A 12-ounce can of Coke contains 39 grams of sugar. You pour 5 ounces of Coke into glass.

1. 39/12 = (grams of sugar per ounce can of Coke)

2. 12/39 = (ounce can of Coke per gram of sugar)

3. 39/5 = (it does not represent an above statement)

4. (5/12) x 39 = (represents the number of grams of sugar in the 5 ounce can of Coke poured into a glass)

5. (12-5) x (39/12) = (represent the number of grams of sugar in the 7 ounce can of Coke remaining in the can)

E. In the United States, the efficiency of a car is specified by how many miles per gallon (MPG) it gets.

In Europe, a car's efficiency is denoted by how many litres it consumes per 100 kilometres (LPK) of travel.

option-(b) : it will be true statement of an efficient car.

It has a high MPG and a low LPK.

Reasons : more number of miles per gallon which means that less spending on fuel. So, the efficiency of a car is specified by high MPG.

Less number of litres of fuel required for 100 km which means that a better mileage. So, car's efficiency is denoted by low LPK .
