D is directly proportional to g.

d α g

d = kg    where k = constant,  d =476,  g =14

476 = k*14

476/14 = k

k = 34

d = kg

d = 34g  is the equation.

When d = 578 miles,   g = ?

578 = 34g

g = 578/34

g = 17

17 gallons would be needed.

Distance, d, is directly proportional to the number of gallons of gas, g. Thus,

d α g

To turn alpha to equal sign, we insert a constant of proportionality, k.

d=kg

To find k, we use the given conditions.
476 = k (14)
k = 34

Therefore, the equation is,
d = 34g

and for travelling 578 miles,
578 = 34g
g = 17 gallons is needed.

Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile

Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom: \frac{2*2}{5*2} = \frac{4}{10}. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.

Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books

Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean: \frac{4*2}{5*2} = \frac{8}{10}. For Edgar, that would mean: \frac{1*5}{2*5} = \frac{5}{10}. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.

Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)

Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.

Answer:

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

By ∝= 5% we mean that there are about 5 chances in 100 of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. To put it in another way , we say that we are 95% confident in making the correct decision.

In the given question the null hypothesis is

H0: u ≤ 1 hour and Ha:  u > 1 hour

So there is a 5% chance that the erroneous conclusion will be made that students spend on average more than 1 hour per assignment.

The given statement is true.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

585 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Floors = 5

Cars = 117 per floor

Required

Determine the total number of cars

This is calculated by multiplying number of cars per floor by number of floors.

Total = Floors*Cars

Total = 5  * 117

Total = 585

<em>Hence, there are 585 cars in total</em>
