erik drove 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons of gas. To the nearest hundredth, how many miles could he drive on 39.7 gallons of gas?

1 answer:

6 0

In the question it is already given that Eric drove for 439.92 miles on 15.6 gallons. It is required to find the distance traveled on 39.7 gallons of gas. Also we have to find the answer to the nearest hundredth.
Then,
In 15.6 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = 439.92 miles
In 39.7 gallons Eric can drive for a distance = [(439.92/15.6) * 39.7] miles
= 1119.54 miles
So the total distance traveled by Eric is 1120 miles with 39.7 gallons of gas. The answer has been calculated to the nearest hundredth.

A table of values can be used to represent variables that are directly proportional.

The complete table of proportions is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

Given that

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[\ ]&7&1&500&[\ ] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[\ ]&[\ ]&[\ ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

Let:

$L \to$ Letters

$C \to$ Cost

Using proportional reasoning, we have:

$C = kL$

Where

$k \to$ ratio of proportion

For the first values of C and L, we have:

$C = kL$

$0.45 = k \times 10$

Divide both sides by 10

$k = 0.045$

So, the equation of proportion is:

$C = 0.045L$

When C = 6.75, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$6.75 = 0.045L$

Solve for L

$L = \frac{6.75}{0.045}$

$L = 150$

When L = 7, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$C = 0.045 \times 7$

$C = 0.315$

When L = 1, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$C = 0.045 \times 1$

$C = 0.045$

When L = 500, we have:

$C =0.045L\\$

$C =0.045 \times 500$

$C =22.5$

When C = 18.90, we have:

$C = 0.045L$

$18.90 = 0.045L$

Solve for L

$L=\frac{18.90}{0.045}$

$L=420$

Hence, the complete table is:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right]$

You work at a T-shirt printing business. Of the 3,900 T-shirts shipped, 574 have a defect. What is the experimental probability

Alexus [3.1K]

To solve this problem you would first need to divide the number of defected T-shirts by the total amount that was shipped... so 574/3900= 0.147. To get the percent move the decimal to the right two places. Your percentage would be 14.7%
