Answer:

A.  <u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of lightning = 186,000 miles per second

Speed of sound = 750 miles per hour

2. A.  If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning?

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 186,000 * 4

<u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?</u>

<u>Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>

if your car gets 28 miles per gallon, how much does it cost to drive 310 miles when gasoline cost $3.50 per gallon?
Butoxors [25]
Hi,


Work:

28miles = 1gallon

To find the cost of gallons spend for 310 miles you need to first find the amount of gallons consumed on 310 miles path.

310 \div 28 = 11.07gallons

If each costs 3.5$ you need to multiply gallons with money.

3.5 \times 11.07 = 38.745

You would spend 38.745$ to drive 310 miles.

Hope this helps.
