Question

1. 7.2 aliens =1 monster. 1 monster= 15.5 oranges. Using the conversion above, about how many oranges are equal to 1 alien?

Answer 1

1. If 1 monster = 7.2 aliens and 1 monster = 15.5 oranges. So we can consider it as 7.2 aliens = 15.5 oranges. To find out how many oranges are equal to 1 alien we need to do this:
1 alien = 15.5 oranges/7.2;
1 alien = 2.15 oranges (approximately).

2. We have everything to solve this problem. So in a scaled drawing 1 mm = 150 m. => 1 m = 1/150 mm on the drawing. Then 1 m^2 = (1/150 mm)^2 =>
1 m^2 = 1/22500 mm^2.
So the answer is 1/22500 mm^2.

3. The formula of the length is S=V*t. where V - the speed and t = the time. We already know that V = 60 mph and t = 8 seconds. But the measure of the speed is miles per hour, so we need to convert 8 seconds to hours.
8 seconds = 8/60 minutes = (8/60)/60 hours;
Our solution looks like this:
1) S = 60 mph * (8/60)/60 hours;
2) S = 8/60 miles;
3) S = 0.13 miles;
Answer is 0.13 miles.

4. First let's find out how many gallons of gas she spent during her trip:
172.5/30 = 5.75 gal;
Now we can find price per gallon:
20,70/5.75 = 3.60$ per gallon;
So the approximate cost of gas in dollars per gallon is 3.60$ per gallon.
