You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 30 and one half miles30 1 2 miles on 1 and one fourth gallons1 1 4 gallons of gasoline. Another car is red. It can travel 25 and three fifths miles25 3 5 miles on four fifths gallon 4 5 gallon of gasoline. What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for each car? Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon1 gallon of gasoline?
Blue car: 30.5 / 1.25 =24.4 miles per gallon
Red car: 25.6/0.80 =32 miles per gallon
You can easily see that the Red car travel farther on 1 gallon of gasoline.
Answer: The equation that would help members to find how much they would pay per month is
40 + 12x = 460
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of money that members would pay per month.
Let y represent the number of months for which a member uses the gym.
There is a fee of $40 when you join, and the rest is paid monthly. This means that the cost of using the gym for x months would be
40 + xy
A one year membership to metro gym costs $460. Therefore are 12 months in a year. Therefore,
40 + 12x = 460
12x = 460 - 40 = 420
x = 420/12 = 35
The equation that would help members to find how much they would pay per month is
(-5/8)(X) = -0.4
(-5/8)(X) = -4/10
X = (-4/10) / (-5/8)
X = (4/10) / (5/8)
X = (4/10)(8/5)
X = (2/5)(8/5)
X = 16/25
Letter D
We have the following:
solving for x
The solution of x is equal to 28, therefore 12 is not a solution of the equation
