Answer:
30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In this context, "per" means "divided by", so to find miles per gallon, divide miles by gallons:
(56 1/4 mi)/(1 7/8 gal) = 30 mi/gal
The vehicle can travel 30 miles per gallon of gas.
_____
My calculator divides mixed numbers directly, as many graphing calculators do. If you're working this out by hand, you can convert to improper fractions, then multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.
(56 1/4)/(1 7/8) = (225/4)/(15/8)
= (225/4)·(8/15) = (225/15)·(8/4)
= 15·2 = 30
Associative property moves the parenthesis
Choice B
Answer:
a) 1.3652
b) 1.3906
Step-by-step explanation:
a) log5 9 = log5 3² = 2log5 3 = 2(0.6826) = 1.3652
b) log5 75/8 = log5 75 - log5 8 = log5 3×25 - log5 8=
log5 3 + log5 5² - log5 8 = 0.6826 + 2 - 1.2920 = 0.6826 + 0.708 = 1.3906
Answer:
18 2/3 miles. 4 x 2/3 =8/3 x 7 = 56/3 ÷3 = 18 2/3 miles.
