Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8*2x=16*2x
devide 2x from both sides 1/8=16(x)
1/8=16x divide 16 from both sides
which is x=0.008
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to study the fuel consumption of each car, i.e the amount of mile per gallon the cars will consume
Step one:
given data:
First car
distance covered= 41 1/2 = 41.5miles
amount of gallons= 1 1/4= 1.25gal
the miles per gallons= 41.5/1.25=33.2 miles per gallon
Second car
distance covered= 21 3/5= 21.6miles
amount of gallons=4/5= 0.8gal
the miles per gallons= 21.6/0.8=27 miles per gallon
1. Therefore the unit rate of
the first car = 33.2 miles per gallon
the second car=27 miles per gallon
2. the first car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline
1g-1.5=-4g-4 (distribute 1/2 and -4 inside their respective parenthesis)
1g=-4g-2.5 (add 1.5 to -4)
5g=-2.5 (add 4g to 1g)
g=-0.5 (divide both sides by 5)
