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

Mathematics

Vinvika [58]2 years ago

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.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Type II error

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the definition of type II error, the type II error arises when we wrongfully accept the null hypothesis. It means that when we accept our null hypothesis and null hypothesis is not correct then type II error arises. So according to situation we are accepting the null hypothesis that the food is safe but it is actually not safe. Hence the given situation represents type II error.
