73.50÷21=3.5 per gallon

98÷3.5=28 gallons ...answer

The key here is the word "directly." We need to set up a ratio.

gallons / cost = gallons / cost

21 / 73.50 = gallons / 98

Cross multiply and simplify.

(21)(98) = gallons * 73.50

2058 = gallons * 73.50

2058 / 73.50 = gallons

28 = gallons

Describe all the positive integers that would make [(1/2|4] less than (1/2)7
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The only positive integers would be anything less than 3. So 1 or 2 would work

Step-by-step explanation:

If something that is already being raised to a power, gets raised to another power, those powers add up. So if it were (\frac{1}{2} ^{2} )^{2}, the exponents would add which would make it (\frac{1}{2}^{4} ).

In the case of your question, if 'n' was 2 it would be to the power of 6 making it less than to the power of. 1 could also work
