Q: " A car's fuel consumption is a measure of miles driven per gallon of gas. If you know the distance you drove and how many gallons fit in your tank, you can simply divide the miles by the gas to get your "miles per gallon," or mpg.  You can perform the same calculation with kilometers and liters as well. The best time to record is right after you fill your car with gas. Newer cars have a trip odometer that you can set to zero at any time. It is usually on the dashboard or center console, with a small button you can hold to reset it to zero. Set it to zero when you fill up the car and check it when you need to fill up again -- this is your mileage since you last bought gas.  Your trip odometer will say "0 miles." If you don't have a trip odometer, record the number of miles on your car as "Starting Mileage." For example, if your car has 10,000 miles on it when you fill your tank, write "10,000." Before you start filling up your car at the gas station, record the mileage on the odometer as "Final Mileage." If you do not have a trip odometer, subtract your "Starting Mileage" from your current mileage to find out how far your traveled. If your odometer now says 10,250 for example, subtract 10,000. You drove 250 miles on that tank of gas. You can perform this calculation no matter how much gas is left in the tank, but the more gas you use the more accurate your reading will be. Refill your tank completely and note how many gallons/liters you needed to fill the tank back up. This is you "Fuel Usage." You must refill your tank completely for this to work, otherwise you don't know how much gas your car used since your last tank. This tells you how many miles you drove per gallon of gas. For example, if you drove 335 miles before refueling, and you filled your car up with 12 gallons of gas, your fuel consumption was 27.9 miles per gallon, or mpg (335 miles / 12 gallon = 27.9 mpg).  If you measured in kilometers and liters, you should instead divide fuel used by kilometers traveled and multiply the result by 100 to get "liters per 100 kilometers". You have to start from a full tank and return to a full tank to know exactly how much gas your car consumed. Terry's odometer reads 23,500 with a full tank. After driving for a few days he needs to buy gas. The odometer reads 23,889, and it takes 12.5 gallons to refill his tank. What was his fuel consumption?  Fuel Consumption = (Final Mileage - Starting Mileage) / Fuel Usage Fuel Consumption = (23,889mi - 23,500mi) / 12.5 gallons Fuel Consumption = 389mi / 12.5 gallons Fuel Consumption = 31.1 mpg
A: Know that the equation for fuel consumption is "Miles Driven divided by Amount of Gas Used. Reset the "trip odometer" after you fill up your tank. Record the miles on the trip odometer right before you buy more gas. Drive your car until the tank is almost empty. Record the amount of gas you buy in gallons. Divide mileage by fuel usage to see your car's fuel consumption. Practice calculating with an example.

Article: Establish your main character in the first scene of the script. Open with dialogue that shows the viewer the character. Place the main character in the setting and have them interact or reflect on the setting. Give the viewer a sense of the main character so they can feel immersed in the story.  For example, you may open with a scene where your main character goes to work at their job on Mars, showing their daily routine to introduce them to the reader. Or you may open with dialogue of a fight between the main character and their partner, showing their complicated relationship. The conflict can be something the main character wants, but has a difficult time getting due to obstacles or issues. It can also be a conflict between the main character and another character, where neither character can agree or find common ground. The conflict can also come from an outside factor, such as a bad boss, a mean teacher, or a natural disaster. For example, you may focus on a simple conflict like the main character doesn’t want to go to school that day. You can then come up with what the main character would do instead if they skipped school, focusing on the weird or strange things they might do. Bring the setting to life by including details that make it unique and visually engaging. Make the setting particular by including certain objects in a room. Decide what the climate or weather is in the setting. Include buildings and structures that add to the world of the story. For example, you may set your script in a carnival that caters to aliens. You may then include rides that blast the rider to another galaxy or carnival foods that aliens might enjoy. Dialogue in your script should always be doing two things: exploring character and building conflict. Avoid dialogue like “Hi, how are you?” or “Nice day today.” Write dialogue that cuts to the chase and tells the reader something about the character.  For example, you may give one character a catchphrase that they say whenever they feel stressed or surprised, such as Homer Simpson's famous "D'oh!" You can also have one character with a more casual way of speaking and another character with a more formal way of speaking to create contrast. For example, one character may say, “Sup, alien?” and another character may respond, “Hello there, my illustrious alien friend, how lovely to see you.”
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Introduce the main character. Include conflict that involves the main character. Keep the setting engaging. Write dialogue that explores character and conflict.

Q: Your body needs time to store the water, and trying to chug a water bottle right before you leave is ineffective and uncomfortable. Aim to drink one glass of water every hour up until you set out on your run.  You need to drink water to stay hydrated and energized. Aim for 8-16oz of water 1-2 hours before running. You don't need to eat a lot unless you plan on running more than 12-13 miles. A bagel with honey or jam, a granola bar and fruit, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will provide fuel that your body can digest quickly. Avoid slow to digest foods like thick pasta sauces, fried foods, or cheeses. Aim for a simple combination of carbohydrates (bagel, toast, granola, oatmeal), natural sugar (jelly, banana, apple, honey), and protein (peanut butter, yogurt, grilled chicken). This is especially important if you are just beginning to run regularly. Use a map or a running specific app, like MapMyRun, to plan out a route that works for you. A good start for your first few weeks is 20-30 minutes, running 2-3 miles at a time. As you progress, listen to your body -- if your muscles and joints are hurting after every run, slow down and do less mileage until you are better prepared. You should wear light, breathable clothing that doesn't trap sweat. If you are going for a short run, then a cotton shirt will be fine, but you should use synthetic athletic wear for longer runs. Your body will raise it's temperature by 10-15 degrees, so dress as if the weather is 10-15 degrees warmer. Make sure your sneakers fit by trying them out on short runs. If you get any blisters or feel numbness in your toes, you need better fitting shoes.  Your heel should stay snugly in the shoe. You should have room to wiggle your toes. The balls and arches of your feet should be comfortable but not tight.  There is a growing movement to run barefoot for it's supposed health benefits, but only try it if you are sure you will not step on anything dangerous.
A:
Hydrate throughout the day. Eat a simple meal 2-3 hours before you plan on running. Set a reasonable goal. Dress to exercise. Buy running shoes.
