Question
Instructions:   

Given the gallons of gasoline used and the starting miles and the ending miles, calculate miles per gallon for a vehicle.

Make a table showing inputs and corresponding outputs. Have at least 2 examples.

Identify any formulas, constants, and intermediate variables that are required.

Answer
starting mileage 1200
ending mileage 1290
gallons used 6
mileage = (end - start)/used = (1290-1200)/6 = 90/6 = 15.

For another table, just change the value to something else.
It would be good to pick the mileage 1st, the gallons 2nd, and then the difference in miles would be the product of these two.
