Answer:

A.Rate of Mrs. Allan's car=28 mile/gallon

Rate of Mrs. Owen's car=35 mile/gallon

B.Mrs. Owen's car

C.Mrs.Allen's car used gas for 560 miles=20 gallons

Mrs.Owen's car used gas for 560 miles=16 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mrs. Allan's car uses 8 gallons of gas for 224 mile tripe.

Mrs. Owens car uses 6 gallons of a gas for 210 mile tripe.

A.Rate= $\frac{Distance\;traveled}{Gas;used}$

Rate of Mrs. Allan's car= $\frac{224}{8}=28 mile/gallon$

Rate of Mrs. Owen's car= $\frac{210}{6}=35 mile/gallon$

B.Mrs.Allan's car travel in 1 gallon of gas =28 miles

Mrs. Owen' s car travel in one gallon of gas=35 miles

Therefore, Mrs. Owen's car travel large distance in one gallon of gas.Hence, it is better.

C.If distance traveled by the cars=560 miles

Mrs. Allen's car used gas for 28 mile=1 gallon

Mrs. Allen's car used gas for 1 mile= $\frac{1}{28}$

Mrs.Allen's car used gas for 560 mile= $\frac{560}{28}=20 gallons$

Mrs.Allen's car used gas for 560 miles=20 gallons

Mrs.Owen's car used gas for 35 miles=1 gallon

Mrs. Owen's car used gas for 1 mile= $\frac{1}{35}$

Mrs. Owen's car used gas for 560 miles= $\frac{560}{35}=16 gallons$

Mrs.Owen's car used gas for 560 miles=16 gallons

Answer:

A. Mileage is read in Miles per gallons

B.Hence ownens car has a better mileage

C. Allans CAr : 20 gallons

Owens car : 16 Gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Allans Car

Distance traveled = 224 miles

Fuel consumed = 8 gallons

Distance covered in 1 gallon = $\frac{224}{8}$ = 28

Hence mileage is 28 miles per gallon

Owens Car

Distance traveled = 210 miles

Fuel consumed = 6 gallons

Distance covered in 1 gallon = $\frac{210}{6}$ = 35

Hence mileage is 35 miles per gallon

Hence ownens car has a better mileage

If the Distance traveled by both car is 560 miles

Allans car

Fuel consumed = $\frac{560}{28}$ = 20 gallons

Owens car

Fuel consumed = $\frac{560}{35}$ = 16 gallons

Dividing a whole number and an improper fraction seems tricky, but it just has one or two more steps than the normal process. First, convert the whole number "9" into a fraction by giving it a denominator of "1". It should look like 9/1. Now that both numbers are converted into like formats (improper fractions), you should have 9/1 divided by 5/3.

Second, flip 5/3 over into 3/5 - this is the "reciprocal". Now you have 9/1 divided by 3/5. It's just a matter of multiplying across the math sentence. Multiply the numerators (9x3) and the denominators (1 x 5). Your new fraction should be 27/5. This is your answer in the improper fraction format.

You can create other formats depending on the expected answer. For a mixed number, "divide your fraction UP" (27 divided by 5) which gives you 5 and 2/5. This can be further converted into 5.4 if you need your answer in decimal form.

kifflom [539]

Step-by-step explanation:

20% of the coins are dimes, and 10 coins are selected, so the expected number of dimes is 0.20 * 10 = 2.

So the number generator is fair. It shows that 20% of the coins selected are dimes most of the time.
