Answer:
Using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,200 / 30
= 40 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:
= 40 * 3
= $120
Without using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,211 / 29
= 41.76 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:
= 41.76 * 3.40
= $141.98
<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>
The product means to multiple
Answer:
Last equation given in the list of possible answers:
5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to include in the total addition of miles ridden during the week:
a) 1.5 miles to the school
b) 1.5 miles from school back home
c) x miles for the evening ride
so for the miles ridden per day we have: "1.5 +1.5 + x"
Now, since per week she does 5 days like this, then we need to multiply the expression above by 5 in order to total the number of miles she rides weekly (25 miles)
5 ( 1.5 + 1.5 + x ) = 25
And we can use this equation to find the amount "x" that Rin rides in the evening.
-1/4 + f/8 = 1/2.
The LCD is 8. Rewrite this equation as -8/4 + 8f/8 = 8(1/2) and then reduce the result:
-2 + f = =4
Then f = 6.
You should check this result.
