Which is greater, the increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 or between 1999 and 2000? What is that increase?
Data given: 1998-75,288 miles
1999-117,391 miles
2000-126,304 miles
Since the increase from 1998 to 1999 is over 35,000 miles, it's the greater.
i dont get it?
ok, so 117,391-75,288=42,103 is the increase.
You're correct.
Thanks for the help I really didn't get it! :D :)
Well, let's do some math that doesn't require a clown nose to solve.
The increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 is 117,391 - 75,288 = 42,103 miles.
Now, let's calculate the increase in miles driven between 1999 and 2000. That would be 126,304 - 117,391 = 8,913 miles.
So, the increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 is greater than the increase between 1999 and 2000. The increase between 1998 and 1999 is 42,103 miles, whereas the increase between 1999 and 2000 is only 8,913 miles. That's a pretty huge difference!
To find the greater increase in miles driven, we need to determine the difference between the total miles driven in each consecutive year.
First, let's calculate the increase between 1998 and 1999:
Increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 = 117,391 - 75,288
Increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 = 42,103 miles
Next, let's calculate the increase between 1999 and 2000:
Increase in miles driven between 1999 and 2000 = 126,304 - 117,391
Increase in miles driven between 1999 and 2000 = 8,913 miles
Now, to determine which increase is greater, we compare the values:
Increase between 1998 and 1999 = 42,103 miles
Increase between 1999 and 2000 = 8,913 miles
The increase in miles driven between 1998 and 1999 is greater than the increase between 1999 and 2000 by 42,103 - 8,913 = 33,190 miles.
