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.

In a survey of adults who follow more than one sport, 30% listed football as their favorite sport. You survey 15 adults who foll

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula :-

$P(x)=^nC_x\ p^x(q)^{n-x}$ , where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The probability that the adults follow more than one game = 0.30

Then , q= 1-p = 1-0.30=0.70

The number of adults surveyed : n= 15

Let X be represents the adults who follow more than one sport.

Then , the probability that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport,

$P(X\leq4)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)\\\\=^{15}C_{0}\ (0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+^{15}C_{1}\ (0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+^{15}C_{2}\ (0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+^{15}C_{3}\ (0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+^{15}C_{4}\ (0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=(0.30)^0(0.70)^{15}+15(0.30)^1(0.70)^{14}+105(0.30)^2(0.70)^{13}+455(0.30)^3(0.70)^{12}+1365(0.30)^4(0.70)^{11}\\\\=0.515491059227\approx0.5$

Hence, the probability rounded to the nearest tenth that fewer than 4 of them will say that football is their favorite sport =0.5
