What's the unit rate for 1 1/4 gallons per 44 1/2 miles

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  5/178 gal/mi

  35.6 mi/gal . . . . . take your pick

Step-by-step explanation:

As you have written the question, it is

  (1.25 gal)/(44.5 mi) = (5/178) gal/mi ≈ 0.0280899 gal/mi

___

Usually, mileage is expressed in miles per gallon in the US. The unit rate in those units is ...

  178/5 mi/gal = 35.6 mi/gal

_____

<em>Comment on mileage unit rates</em>

A "unit rate" is any rate that has 1 unit in the denominator. That is, the rate 5 gal/(178 mi) <u>is not</u> a unit rate, but (5/178) gal/mi <u>is</u> a units rate. They both use the same fraction, but the latter has 1 unit in the denominator and the fraction in the numerator: (5/178 gal)/mi.

Outside the US, mileage (energy use for transportation) is often expressed in terms of (amount of fuel)/(given distance). For example, the above mileage might be expressed as 1.745 gal/(100 km), or 6.607 L/(100 km). The "unit" in this scenario is 100 km.

In the US, the typical mileage specification is (distance)/(gallons). So, your question in terms of gallons per mile could mean that is the unit rate you're looking for (.028 gal/mi). Or it could mean we need to convert it to the typical US mileage specification. We cannot tell.

PLEASE HELP! I have been working on this IXL for over 30 minutes and I keep getting the questions wrong. I am not good at graphi
ollegr [7]
The equations are in slope intercept form which is

y = mx+b

m is the slope of the equation. slope is rise/ run meaning that if a slope is 2, you can also say 2/1. this means you go up 2 squares and to the right 1 point. if the slope is negative, it looks like a downhill and the line falls left to right. if the slope is positive, it looks like uphill and the line falls right to left.

the x is what the slope is multiplied by but isn’t significant in graphing because it’s always just x

the b represents the y intercept. the y axis is the vertical line on the graph. for example if b = 7, then the line goes through 7 on the graph and basically tells us that (0,7) is a point on the line.

for y= x + 7, the slope is 1. that equation is just saying y= 1x+7 but the one is unnecessary usually because it’s implied that the x means 1x

What is the y-intercept of y = 5x - 1?​
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Given Equation: y=5x-1

as we know that the y intercept have, x coordinate(absicasse) equal to 0

so,put x=0 to get y intercept

i.e, y =5×0 -1

i.e, y= <em><u>-</u></em><em><u>1</u></em>
