Jayne stopped to get gas before going on a road trip. The tank already had 4 gallons of gas in it. Which best describes why the graph relating the total amount of gasoline in the tank, y, to the number of gallons that she added to it, x, will be continuous or discrete?
The graph will be continuous because the amount of gas that she added to the tank does not need to be an integer amount.
The graph will be continuous because we are not told a maximum value for the amount of gas.
The graph will be discrete because there are already exactly 4 gallons of gas in the tank, so to fill it up will take a whole number of gallons of gas.
The graph will be discrete because there is an end to the amount of gas she can use, as the tank will be completely full at some point.
Answer: third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- There are 10⁹ bytes in a gigabyte.
- There are 10⁶ bytes in a megabyte.
Then, to know how many times greater the storage capacity of a 1-gigabyte flash drive is than a 1-megabyte flash drive, you must divide 10⁹ bytes by 10⁶ bytes.
Remember the quotient of powers property:
Then:
times greater
