Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey will not be reliable as it is chosen for convenience; the first 120 students to arrive in school on a particular morning and this collection of individuals may not be a representative of the population. The study may become biased because it does not take into account the latecomers among the students which might have been changed the study from systematically favoring certain outcomes.

At Best Burgers, Jack collected sales data on the type of side order served with each type of burger purchased for a week. Jack
horsena [70]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

60 pounds of onion rings and 60 hamburgers.

Explanation:

Jack serves a half pound of onion rings with every burger.  He serves 120 bacon cheeseburgers.  To find the number of pounds of onion rings, we multiply 1/2 pound by 120 burgers:

1/2(120) = 1/2(120/1) = (1*120)/(2*1) = 120/2 = 60 pounds of onion rings.

There were 8 hamburgers served out of the first 40 orders.  If this rate continues, then to find the number of hamburgers out of 300 orders, we multiply 8/40 by 300:

8/40(300) = 8/40(300/1) = (8*300)/(40*1) = 2400/40 = 60

There would be 60 hamburgers.

Ving Advanced Linear Equations: Practice
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

In the first week, Micah bought 11 gallons of gas.

In the second week, Micah bought 8 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

First week

x gallons of gas at $2.39 per gallon

x gallons = $2.39x

Second week

3 fewer gallons of gas than the first week at $2.49 per gallon

x - 3 gallons = $2.49(x-3)

Total spent = $46.21

$2.39x + $2.49(x-3) = $46.21

2.39x + 2.49x - 7.47 = 46.21

4.88x - 7.47 = 46.21

Add 7.47 to both sides

4.88x - 7.47 + 7.47 = 46.21 + 7.47

4.88x = 53.68

Divide both sides by 4.88

x = 53.68/4.88

= 11

x = 11

First week = x = 11 gallons

Second week

= x - 3

= 11-3

= 8 gallons

Therefore,

In the first week, Micah bought 11 gallons of gas.

In the second week, Micah bought 8 gallons of gas.
