Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, what we know is that the total distance from the dormitory to the city is 1 if expressed in fraction. What we need to know is the fraction of the journey that is scheduled as the last part.

We can get this by subtracting the fractions of the first two phases from 1.

This goes as follows:

1 - (1/5) - (2/3) = 2/15

Now, we know that the final 8 kilometers constitute a fraction of just 2/5

Hence, we know that 2/15 of the total journey is 8 kilometers.

Let the total journey distance be T. This means that 2/15 of T is 8km

2/15 * T = 8km

T = ( 8 * 15 )/2 = 120/2 = 60km

Mr king is going to paint his house. The paint costs 21.99$ a gallon or 93.65$ for a 5 gallon can. What would be the unit price
vampirchik [111]
Divide 93.65 by the 5 gallons.

93.65/5= 18.73

If me.king bought the larger container, the unit price would be $18.73 per gallon. 

21.99-18.73= 3.26

The savings is $3.26 per gallon.

I hope this helps!
