Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.15 per gallon

27 miles per gallon

has 17.20

drives at speed of 32 per hour

how many hours can she drive

First we need to find how much gas she can buy. To do that, we need to solve:

\frac{17.20}{2.15} , which equals  8

So now we know that she can buy 8 gallons of gas.

Now we need to find out how much gas she will use going 27 miles

27 x 8 = 216

she can go 216 miles on 8 gallons of gas.

Now for the fun part

\frac{216}{32} = 6.75

So, I believe she can drive for 6 hours and 45 minutes.

Let me know if incorrect.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

6 hours and 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out how many gallons she can buy. Since we know she has $17.20, and 1 gallon = $2.15, we can divide 17.20/2.15 to get 8 gallons. Now, since we <em>also </em>know that her car goes 27 miles per gallon, we have to multiply 27 by 8 to get 216, which means she can drive for 216 hours in total. Since Meredith drives 32 miles per hour, we can divide 216 by 32 to get 6.75 hours, which is 6 hours and 45 minutes.

Using GCF write an expression that is equivalent to 16p+48
aalyn [17]
You start by looking at what number can divide evenly into both 16 and 48. Both numbers are divisible by 16. 16 goes into 16 once and 16 goes into 48 three times. So you divide each term by 16 and your expression should look like this: 16 (p+3)

2.) Bob has two weekend jobs. Last weekend he made a total of $77 after
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= money earned per hour working as a cashier.

y=money earned per hour working delivering newspapers.

We propose the following system of equations:

5x + 4y =77

6x + 3y=78

We solve the system by reduction method:

-6*(5x+4y=77) ⇒  -30x-24y=-462

5*(6x+3y=78)⇒     30x+15y=390

                             ---------------------------

                                     -9y=-72  ⇒   y=-72 /-9=8

Now, we get the value of "x" replacing the value of "y" by "8" in any part of the equation above.

5x + 4(8)=77

5x+32=77

5x=77-32

5x=45

x=45/5=9

therefore;  

money earned per hour working as a cashier= $9/ hour

money earned per hour working delivering newspapers=$8/hour
