Warm Up #1-19 – September 18Three high school students wanted to investigate how far they could drive if the

gas tanks of the cars were full of gasoline. The students went to the same gas station to fill the tanks of the cars. They drove the cars until the gas tanks were nearly empty. The table below shows all the information the students collected during their investigation. Study the table. Then do Numbers 1 and 2.
