Hi,
Essentially, we are saying that Alyssa gets 5 parts of the whole thing (140,000), Bart gets 3 parts of the whole and Meghan gets 2 parts of the whole. The sum total of their parts = the whole. So now we need to find out how much one part is. Thus,"one part" should be the variable. Substitute p for "one part", so Alyssa gets 5p, Bart gets 3p, and Meghan gets 2p. Since the sum of the parts = the whole, your problem sets up as: 5p + 3p + 2p = 140,000 --> 10p = 140,000 --> 10p/10 = 140,000/10 --> x = 14,000.
Alyssa gets 5p or (5 x 14,000)
Bart gets 3p or (3 x 14,000)
Meghan gets 2p or (2 x 14,000)
If the whole was a loss, it would be a negative, and instead of getting money, they would lose money.
Answer: 0.0476 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Daurie rides on her motorcycle for 252 miles on 6 gallons of gas. We will determine the unit rate in gallons. It means the number of miles that her motorcycle on one gallon of gas
Distance travelled on one gallon of gas would be 6/252 = 0.0238 miles
At this rate of 0.0238 miles per one gallon of gas, the distance travelled on 2 gallons of gas would be
2 × 0.0238 = 0.0476 miles
(predicted value - exact value)/exact value * 100
(31 - 34)/34 * 100 = 8.8%
