Question

well this is my math question but i dont get it... the year 1990 had 20.2 miles per gallon but how do i make that an ordered pair?? someone please help its due tomarow!!

Answer 1

In mathematics, an ordered pair is a collection of two objects such that one can be distinguished as the first element and the other as the second element. An ordered pair with first element a and second element b is often written as (a, b), much like coordinates.

So in your example, just write:
(1990, 20.2)

If you had other data points, you would write them in this form and then you could put them on a graph and interpolate and extrapolate other points.

Answer 2

These idiotic questions have no use but to confuse students unless further instruction is given in graphing, matrix algebra, etc.
Yeah, the ordered pair would be the year first, then the average miles per gallon data like this:
(1990, 20.2)

Answer 3

(20.2,1990)
