The correct answer is 1/3
Answer:
If 1 pint is equal to 2 cups, then 5 pints would equal _<u>5</u>_ cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use a ratio to solve:
pints : cups
1 : 2
2 : 4
3 : 6
4 : 8
5 : 10
There would be 10 cups in 5 pints.
In order to solve this we need to get x by itself on one side.
We need o start by adding across the 4 so that we get:
x/3 = -7 + 4 = -3
We then need to multiply both sides by 3 to get a singular x:
x = -3 * 3 = -9
For number 16 we need to write the data as a ratio then convert to a unit rate (amount per 1)...
308/14 = x/1
Cross multiply
14x = 308
x = 308/14
x = 22
So the fuel efficiency is
22 miles per 1 gallon or
22/1
For number 17, since the car was driven at 48 mph, we just have to divide distance driven by speed to get how long it took...
288 miles ÷ 48 mph =
6 hours
