Julie says I added three odd numbers and my answer was 50 explain why Julie cannot be correct
2 answers:
Julie cannot be right. That's because if you add three odd numbers together, <em>you always get an odd number. </em>The number 50 is an Even number.
Let's try adding 3 odd numbers together a couple of times...
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
5 + 1 + 5 = 11
7 + 3 + 5 = 15
We tried 3 examples, we could not get any even number. So, Julie's claim is wrong.

Given
--- distance
First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car
Solve for n
So, we have:
Convert miles to kilometers
The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:
Convert to liters
In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:
