Answer:

The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Van = 12 miles per gallon

Sedan = 36 miles per gallon

Distance = 2500 miles

Gas = $2.50 per gallon

First, we need to determine the number of gallons that'll be used by both vehicles

This is done by dividing total distance by number of miles per gallon

$Van = \frac{2500}{12} \ gallon$

$Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}\ gallon$

Next, is to multiply this by the cost of gas per gallon;

This gives the total spendable amount on both vehicles

$Van = \frac{2500}{12} * \$2.50$

$Van = \frac{\$6250}{12}$

$Van = \$520.833$

$Sedan = \frac{2500}{36}* \$2.50$

$Sedan = \frac{\$6250}{36}$

$Sedan = \$173.611$

Next is to get the difference between these amounts

$Difference = \$520.833 - \$173.611$

$Difference = \$347.222$

Multiply by 100 to convert to cents

$Difference = 347.222 * 100 cents$

$Difference = 34722.2 \ cents$

$Difference = 34722\ cents$ (Approximated)

Hence;

<em>The family will pay 34722 cents more if they take the van</em>

Extension question (provide a full explanation of your method(s):

Answer:

Ann has little chance to win if she is presented with 4 counters.

Ann can always win from a pile of 6 counters.

(both are explained below)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ann is presented with 4 counters, and

1. if she takes out 3, she will lose since the opponent will pull out 1 and the last one.

2. if she takes 2 her opponent will take out 1 and she can't pull out the last 1 since her opponents last move was to pull out 1 counter so she will lose.

3. If she takes out 1 and her opponent takes out 3 in the next move she loses.

but if instead of 3 her opponent takes out 2 and in the last move Ann takes out the last 1 then she will win.

So, If Ann is presented with 4 counters she has little chance to win provided in the move just before, her opponent didn't move 1 counter.

Now,

if there is 6 counters to Ann, and

1., if Ben's previous move was 1 then Ann can win if she takes out 3 or 2.

If she takes out 3 Ben can take out 1 or 2 and in the last move she will take out 2 or 1 (respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 2 Ben can take out 1 or 3 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 3 or 1 respectively.

2. if Ben's previous move was 2 then Ann can win if she takes out 1 or 3.

If she takes out 1 Ben can take out 2 or 3 and in the last move she will take out 3 or 2(respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 3 Ben can take out 1 or 2 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 2 or 1 respectively.

2. if Ben's previous move was 3 then Ann can win if she takes out 1 or 2.

If she takes out 1 Ben can take out 2 or 3 and in the last move she will take out 3 or 2(respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 2 Ben can take out 1 or 3 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 3 or 1 respectively.

Miguel is mixing up a salad dressing. regardless of the number of servings, the recipe requires that 5/8 of the finished dressin

olga_2 [115]

The remainder is 1-5/8-1/4=8/8-5/8-2/8=1/8.
If the quantity of dressing was 24oz, then there would be 15oz of olive oil, 6oz of vinegar and 3oz of mixture, consisting of 1oz each of salt, pepper and sugar.
If the vinegar doubles we have 12oz of vinegar. The quantity of ingredients is 15oz of olive oil, 12oz of vinegar, and 2oz of mixture (no sugar) making 29oz altogether. The proportion of olive oil is therefore 15/29.
