Can someone pls explain how to solve this, not just the answer but how to solve

Question

here is the link to the problem: How much fuel would be needed for 101 miles? How much fuel would be needed for 1000 miles? How much - Brainly.com

Answer 1

One way to start the answer is by doing a graph. If the graph is linear, then you can find the slope and use that to calculate the fuel needed to fly the required distance.

If the graph is not linear, then you must find how the fuel and distance data are correlated, find the least regression line and predict the quantity of fuel for the given distance.

Answer 2

(Can't copy the mileage chart to this area...)

Need to figure out the amount of fuel just enough to go 1001 miles.

I calculated that 88,40,3,3,3 = 137gallons allows 1001 miles.
