29-11=18
18²+18²=p²
324+324=p²
p²=648
p=18√2
That's your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the better buy, we must find the cheaper unit price or price per gallon. To find the price per gallon, divide the cost by the number of gallons.
Mary
Mary bought 4 gallons for $11.
The price is $11 and the gallons are 4.
Jill
Jill bought 2.5 gallons for $7.25
The price is $7.25 and the gallons are 2.5
Better buy
Mary paid $2.75 per gallon and Jill paid $2.90 per gallon. 2.75 is less than 2.90, so Mary had the better buy.
6.7x10^6 always the the decimal points go between the first 2 numbers, and you count the numbers of decimal places following it to get your scientific exponent
You need to be clearer on what the "roots" are, I haven't learned that term ever, but I think I know what you mean...
