Answer:

  • C = 0.97m
  • $1164 for 1200 miles
  • 845 miles for $820

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a car's cost of operation is $485 for 500 miles, you want an equation relating cost for m miles, and solutions to that equation for 1200 miles, and for a cost of $820.

<h3>Cost per mile</h3>

The cost per mile is found by dividing the cost by the associated number of miles:

  $485/(500 mi) = $0.97 /mi

<h3>Equation</h3>

The equation for the cost will show the cost as the cost per mile multiplied by the number of miles:

  C = 0.97m . . . . . where C is cost in dollars for m miles driven

<h3>1200 miles</h3>

The cost for driving $1200 miles will be ...

  C = 0.97(1200) = $1164

The cost of driving 1200 miles is $1164.

<h3>$820</h3>

The number of miles that can be driven for a cost of $820 is ...

  820 = 0.97m

  m = 820/0.97 = 845.36

About 845 miles are driven for a cost of $820.

So the recipe calls for 96 grams of sugar, and one cup is 128 grams of sugar.

She added a half of a cup, and as they said before one cup was 128 grams of sugar. So half of 128 is 64. So she added 64 grams of sugar. The recipe needs 96 grams so 64 grams is not enough sugar.

So 96 grams minus 64 equals 32 grams. So she still needs 32 grams of sugar.

So since the answers are all in cups, we must convert our answer from grams to cups.

So we have 32 grams of sugar left and to convert it we must put the 32 grams out of one cup. Once again one cup is 128 grams of sugar. So the amount of cups we need is 32/128 (fraction).

Also we need to simplify our fraction to completely answer the question. So we divide the numerator and denominator by 32.

So the final answer is 1/4. So the answer is D or the last answer out of the multiple choice.
