Answer:

Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of gas per gallon = $2.78

it means that if one buy 1 gallon he will have to pay $2.78 and similary for each increase in 1 gallon of gallon gas he will have to pay $2.78.

Thus, rate of change is cost of gas per gallon as cost to buy gas changes with the change in quantity of gallon.

Let the quantity of gas bought be x gallon.

Total cost for x gallons = cost of gas per gallon*x = 2.78x

Given that total money paid by him is $18

2.78x = 18

x = 18/2.78 = 6.47

Thus, Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate of 21 miles per hour. What is this rate in miles per minute? How many miles will the cyclist

Citrus2011 [14]

5 days ago, hope this still helps though!

Alright 21 miles per hour. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour. So this is basically saying 21 miles per 60 minutes. To find the rate for miles per minute, you divide 21 by 60 which is 0.35.

In one minute the cyclist rides 0.35 miles
In two minutes the cyclist rides 0.7 miles

2x+3=9 what is the answer

xxMikexx [17]

Answer : x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

2x+3=9

We want to find the variable x, so we have to make it alone. To do so, first subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:

2x+3 − 3=9 − 3

2x=6

Now divide both sides by 2:

2x2=62

So the final answer is:

x=3

A couple intends to have two children, and suppose that approximately 52% of births are male and 48% are female.

Pachacha [2.7K]

a) Probability of both being males is 27%

b) Probability of both being females is 23%

c) Probability of having exactly one male and one female is 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The probability that the birth is a male can be written as

$p(m) = 0.52$ (which corresponds to 52%)

While the probability that the birth is a female can be written as

$p(f) = 0.48$ (which corresponds to 48%)

Here we want to calculate the probability that over 2 births, both are male. Since the two births are two independent events (the probability of the 2nd to be a male does not depend on the fact that the 1st one is a male), then the probability of both being males is given by the product of the individual probabilities:

$p(mm)=p(m)\cdot p(m)$

And substituting, we find

$p(mm)=0.52\cdot 0.52 = 0.27$

So, 27%.

b)

In this case, we want to find the probability that both children are female, so the probability

$p(ff)$

As in the previous case, the probability of the 2nd child to be a female is independent from whether the 1st one is a male or a female: therefore, we can apply the rule for independent events, and this means that the probability that both children are females is the product of the individual probability of a child being a female:

$p(ff)=p(f)\cdot p(f)$
