The boat uses 4 gallons to travel 6 miles. Traveling 4 times as far is expected to require 4 times the gas.
4 gallons = 6 miles
Multiply by 4.
16 gallons = 24 miles
⇒ 16 gallons
Well first turn 1/7 and 1/5 into decimals which would be .142857 and .2 Add those to 7 and 5 to get 7.143 (I rounded this to the nearest thousandth) and 5.2 Divide those and you get 1.374
The question is to find out how many times 1/4 is equal to 1 1/2
First lets convert the total:
1 1/2 = 2/2 + 1/2 = 3/2
now we need to find out a number that multiplied by 1/4 gives 3/2, that is an equation:
(1/4)x = 3/2
and solving for x:
x = (3/2)*4
x = 12/2
x = 6
therefore they will take 6 days to repave the whole street
If she have 12 pencils and she gave 3/4 away then she will have 3 pencils left.
