A truck driver can travel 560 miles on 28 gallons of gas. How far can he travel on 35 gallons of gas?

1 answer:

8 0

560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon

on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==

or u can also do it this way...

560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==

so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.

The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is .18. What is the probability that a stu

devlian [24]

Answer: 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :

P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)

= 1-0.18=0.82

Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82

Leona [35]

The inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week is $x + 1.5 \leq 5$

The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed is 3.5 hours

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week

So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours

To find: number of hours Julia can still watch this week

<em>Let "x" be the number of hours Julia can still watch television this week</em>

"no more than 5" means less than or equal to 5 ( ≤ 5 )

Juila has already watched 1.5 hours. So we can add 1.5 hours and number of hours Julia can still watch television this week which is less than or equal to 5 hours

number of hours Julia can still watch television this week + already watched ≤ Total hours Juila can watch

$x + 1.5 \leq5$

Thus the above inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.

Solving the inequality,

$x + 1.5 \leq5\\\\x \leq 5 - 1.5\\\\x \leq 3.5$

Thus Julia still can watch Television for 3.5 hours

What is the least common denominator for the fractions1/6and 3/4 ?

melomori [17]

A. 12; Least common denominator is the least multiple that the denominator have together. So you multiply the denominators until you get the first number they both have in common.
6*1 = 6
6*2 =12

4*1 =4
4*2 =8
4*3 = 12

Since the first number they both have in common is 12, the least common denominator is 12
