Answer: 14 miles ≤ D ≤ 22 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean distance traveled per gallon, is 18 miles.

But this can fluctuate, at most, by 4 miles.

Because we have here the "at most", we know that we should use the ≤, ≥ symbols.

Then, if the mean is 18mi, the range of possible distances traveled per gallon is:

(18 miles - 4 miles) ≤ D ≤ (18 miles + 4 miles)

Where D is the distance.

14 miles ≤ D ≤ 22 miles.

So the truck can get between 14 miles and 22 miles per gallon on the highway.

Why does the multiplicative inverse of a number have the same sign as the number?

denis23 [38]

Look at the definition of multiplicative inverse. If two numbers are multiplicative inverses of each other, then by definition, their product will be equal to 1. And 1 is a positive number. If both numbers being multiplied are positive, then the result is positive. And of both numbers being multiplied are negative, then the result is still positive. But if one number is positive and the other is negative, then the result is negative. So if you want a positive result, then both numbers you're multiplying have to have the same sign. And since we want a result of 1 for multiplicative inverses and since 1 is positive, then the numbers being multiplied have to have the same sign.
