ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We were told that the motorist travelled 250 miles on 11 gallons of gas. This implies that,

Now we want to find how far he could go on 16 gallons.

All other things being equal, the motorist should cover more than 250 miles with 16 gallons of gas.
Recall that: If more, less divides.
This implies that,


Therefore the correct answer is C.
 
        
        
        
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the sum of all values divided by the amount of values.
We take the sum of all the numbers:
-3 + -8 + 12 + -15 + 9
-11 + 12 + -15 + 9
1 + -15 + 9
10 + -15
-5
We then divide the sum by how many number we have (we are given 5 numbers):
-5/5 = -1
Therefore, our mean is equal to -1.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
4 5/8 as an improper fraction is 37/8
——> 8*4=32 32+5=37
As a mixed number it is the same I think. 5 can’t decide into 8 so it stays 4 5/8.
Hopefully this helps...
