You take 480 and divide it by 15, because it says per gallon. so then if the car goes 480 miles with 15 gallons, you have to figure out how to find per gallon. you divide 480/15 and your answer is 32
There isn’t a picture but hopefully I can help u
You need to move the decimal point to be at 1.
Since this is a decimal, the power will be negative.
I had to move the decimal 6 places.
So,
1^-6
I hope this helps!

The answers is -1/3 because of rise over run
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
