Answer:

  about 2 times as many

Step-by-step explanation:

Double 14.5 is 29, which is close to 28.5. Roman's car gets slightly less than 2 time as many miles per gallon as Lei's car.

___

If you like, you can take the estimate to the next level. The estimate of "2 times" is high by a factor of 29/28.5 or by 1 unit in 58. This is between 1.5% and 2% high, so a closer estimate is between 1.96 and 1.97 times as many.

__

The actual ratio is about 1.9655.

-2(x+2/3)+1=5 Please somebody help me out there in brainly land
Harrizon [31]
X=-1.8
To solve first use the distributive property to change the equation to -2x+1 1/3+1=5
Then you subtract 1 from 5 so then the equation looks like this: -2x+1 1/3=4
Next subtract 1 1/3 from 4 to get 3.6
then divide it by -2 and you get -1.8

erastova [34]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

one person is deemed to drive and that person is fixed on the driver's seat no mater which arrangement.

we have now 2 more seats one adjacent to the driver and one rear (two combined).

so the total ways in which all five can be arranged is as follows.

driver, adjacent to him(1)  and three back.

driver adjacent to him (different person) and three back.

see the driver is always fixed so we can ignore him.

thus we when driver set fixed , on two remaining seats (adjacent to driver and the back )there can be 4 different combinations.
