36 divided by 5 is 7.2 and not 7. Sheila rounded to the nearest whole number but she wasn't supposed to.

Question:

The tank for a car holds 17 gallons. The gasoline gauge shows the tank is 3/4 full. How much gas is still in the tank?

Give your answer as a whole number or as a mixed fraction reduced to lowest terms.

Answer:

$Gas \: \:left = 12 \frac{3}{4} \: \:gallons \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank for a car holds 17 gallons.

The gasoline gauge of the car shows that the tank is 3/4 full.

We are asked to find the remaining gasoline in the tank.

$Gas \: \:left = \frac{3}{4} \times 17 \\\\Gas \: \:left = \frac{51}{4} \\\\Gas \: \:left = 12 \frac{3}{4} \: \:gallons \\\\$

Therefore, the remaining gas in the tank is $12\frac{3}{4}$ gallons.

Alternatively:

$1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Amount of gasoline consumed = $\frac{1}{4} \times 17 = \frac{17}{4}$

Amount of gasoline left = total - consumed

Amount of gasoline left = $17 - \frac{17}{4} = 12\frac{3}{4} \:\: gallons$

The number of viewers for television show 1 and show 2 is given as f = 14.7(0.94)ˣ and g = 15.2(1.03)ˣ

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let f and g representing the approximate number of viewers, in millions, x weeks after the tracking begins.
