Celebrating Mileage Efficiency of Truck Fleet!
Which truck in the fleet had a lower average than how many miles per gallon?
According to the information, truck 10 is how many miles per gallon slower than the rest of the trucks.
Answer:
Truck 10 is 15.5 miles/gallon slower on average than the rest of the trucks.
To calculate how much slower truck 10 is compared to the other trucks, we need to find the average mileage efficiency of the first 9 trucks and then subtract the mileage efficiency of truck 10 from that average.
Here is the list of mileage efficiencies of the 10 trucks:
- Truck 1: 50 miles/gallon
- Truck 2: 38 miles/gallon
- Truck 3: 40 miles/gallon
- Truck 4: 35 miles/gallon
- Truck 5: 42 miles/gallon
- Truck 6: 30 miles/gallon
- Truck 7: 41 miles/gallon
- Truck 8: 39 miles/gallon
- Truck 9: 32 miles/gallon
- Truck 10: 23 miles/gallon
First, we calculate the average mileage efficiency of the first 9 trucks:
- (50 + 38 + 40 + 35 + 42 + 30 + 41 + 39 + 32) = 347
- 347 / 9 = 38.5
Then, we find out how much slower truck 10 is compared to this average:
- 38.5 - 23 = 15.5
Therefore, truck 10 is 15.5 miles/gallon slower on average than the rest of the trucks in the fleet. Let's celebrate the efficiency of the entire truck fleet!
