Answer:
Using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,200 / 30
= 40 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:
= 40 * 3
= $120
Without using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,211 / 29
= 41.76 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:
= 41.76 * 3.40
= $141.98
<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
to evaluate substitute b = 18 into 3b
3b = 3 × 18 = 54
Answer:
Length = 45 inches and Width = 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be w.
Length(l)=2.25w
Area = 900 in^2
The formula for the area of a rectangle is Area = length * width
So substituting our values we get:
So we get width = 20 inches
Length = 2.25w
so Length= 2.25*20
=45 inches
Answer:
6 and 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
6 and 4/9 is 58/9
6 and 2/3 is 20/3
change the bottom fraction 3 to a 9 by multiplying by 3 and it turns into 60/9, therefore 6 and 2/3 is larger

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
shirt = x, pants: y
Katie equation: 3x + 2y = 80, Erin equation: 3x + 4y = 116
3x + 2y = 80
3x = 80 - 2y
x = 80/3 - 2y/3
3(80/3 - 2y/3) + 4y = 116
80 - 2y + 4y = 116
80 + 2y + 116
2y = 36
y = 18, pants cost $18
3x + 4(18) = 116
3x + 72 = 116
3x = 44
x = 14.66... (66 is repeating), shirts cost $14.66
check work:
Katie: 3(14.66) + 2(18) = 79.98 which is roughly 80.
