your local gas stations are having a price war during the past seven days they have lowered the price of regular gas by $0.2 eac

Serga [27]

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

Let x denotes the number of days and y denotes the total change in gas price ( in dollars).

Given : During the past seven days the price of regular gas is decreased by $0.2 each day.

Rate of decrease =$0.2 per day

Then , Total change in gas price = Rate of decrease x Number of days

i.e. $y= 0.2 \times x$

i.e. $y=0.2x$ (1)

To find the total change in gas price in 7 days , we put x= 7 in (1) , we get

$y=0.2(7)=1.4$

Hence, the total change in gas price in 7 days = $1.4

MrRa [10]

Answer:

$28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions

$4\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4*2+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$

$6\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6*3+1}{3}=\frac{19}{3}$

step 2

we know that

A teacher reviews 9/2 papers per hour

using proportion

Find how many papers will the teacher review in 19/3 hours

Let

x-----> the number of papers

$(9/2)/1=x/(19/3)$

$x=(19/3)(9/2)$

$x=28.5\ papers$

Convert to mixed numbers

$28.5=28\frac{1}{2}\ papers$
