To get the improper fraction of 4.8 you can first get the mixed number of 4 and 4/5. You must then convert 4 into fifths and add the two fractions together 4 times 5 is twenty so you must add 20/5 plus 4/5 and the improper fraction you end up with is 24/5.
First, you drive 123km per day, and they ask for in a week.
There are 7 days in a week, we have to multiply 123 by 7, which equals 861.
=km per week 861
Now, we need to find out how much cost the gas. Gas cost 1.10 euros per-liter, and this problem wants us to assume that 1euro = 1.26 dollars.
So, we divide 1.10 by 1.26 which is 0.87.
=gas cost 0.87 per liter.
Next, this person goes 31.0 mi/gal per stop.
To get the answer we need to divide 861 the full distance in a week and divide it by how many stops nee to be made which is each 31 mi/gal.
So, 861/31 = 27.77 and now we times 0.87 by 27.77 to get gas cost.
=24.16
The average number of hours can be calculated using the following rule:
average number of hours = total number of hours / total number of weeks
total number of hours = 36 3/8 + 41 1/4 + 40 1/2 + 38 3/8 = 313/2 hours
total number of weeks = 4 weeks
Average number of hours per week = (313/2) / (4) = 39 1/8 hour
Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is:
C. 39 1/8 hour
5/3
if you divide both numbers by 8 you will reduce them to their simplest form
