To find how much each person will get, you have to divide the amount available by the people. There are 2 ways I believe we can do this.
First way
Let's divide.
2÷9= 2/9
Each person would get 2/9 of a gallon if they shared it.

Second way
I believe it would be easier to convert this into cups. There are 16 cups per gallon.
16×2= 32
Let's divide that by 9.
32÷9= 3 5/9 cups per person.

Each person would receive 2/9 of a gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, thus
MP = LN , substitute values
9x - 9 = 7x + 9 ( subtract 7x from both sides )
2x - 9 = 9 ( add 9 to both sides )
2x = 18 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 9
LN = 7x + 9 = (7 × 9) + 9 = 63 + 9 = 72
MP = 9x - 9 = (9 × 9) - 9 = 81 - 9 = 72
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call D the event that a person has the disease, D' the event that a person doesn't have the disease and T the event that the person tests negative for the disease.
So, the probability P(D/T) that a randomly chosen person who tests negative for the disease actually has the disease is calculated as:
P(D/T) = P(D∩T)/P(T)
Where P(T) = P(D∩T) + P(D'∩T)
So, the probability P(D∩T) that a person has the disease and the person tests negative for the disease is equal to:
P(D∩T) = (1/1000)*(0.005) = 0.000005
Because 1/1000 is the probability that the person has the disease and 0.005 is the probability that the person tests negative given that the person has the disease.
At the same way, the probability P(D'∩T) that a person doesn't have the disease and the person tests negative for the disease is equal to:
P(D'∩T) = (999/1000)*(0.99) = 0.98901
Finally, P(T) and P(D/T) are equal to:
P(T) = 0.000005 + 0.98901 = 0.989015

Answer:
You're less likely to make mistakes reading or writing very big and very small numbers if you use scientific notation. It also makes it much easier to tell at a glance which numbers are bigger or smaller without counting long strings of zeros.
