We are taking the Patterns, Functions and Algebra class by video tape and
have a question about possible solutions to Session 4 problem A4. The topic
is absolute versus relative comparison. One suggested example of absolute
was to compare the mles per gallon ratings of various new cars. For example
22 mpg versus 25 mpg. Since this is a "per gallon" comparison, some class
members think this is a relative comparison ( 22/1 and 25/1). Which would be
correct?
