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.
The correct option is: (E) It is plausible that the percent of all people living in the region who regularly use sunscreen is 18.5%.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error that occurred due to miscalculation and survey results. The margin error is usually a small amount of error.
Generally 5% of margin of error is common and acceptable. When the percentage of the margin of error increases, the confidence in the report result will be reduced.
The recent survey reveals that 19% of the people living in a certain region regularly use sunscreen when going outdoors. The permissible margin of error in this survey is 1%.
Probably the percentage of people using sunscreen in the particular region will be <u>18.5%.

Answer: 5
Work Shown:
f(x) = 2x+1
f(2) = 2*2+1 ... x has been replaced with 2
f(2) = 4+1
f(2) = 5
The input is x = 2. The output is y = 5.
To find the equation of a line that is parallel to your original equation and goes through a certain point on a graph, here's what you need to know:
First you need to find the slope of your original equation.
To do that, you need to convert it to slope intercept form (y = mx+b).
Add the x over, and then divide everything by 5 to get the y by itself.
Here's what that would look like (without the small steps that I mentioned):
-x + 5y = 25
5y = x + 25
y = 1/5x + 5
That's the original equation rewritten in slope intercept form.
The m represents the slope, so this equation's slope is 1/5.
Because you are given a point, and now you have a slope, the best and easiest route is using point slope form.
I've seen different versions of the equation base but I prefer y - y(sub1) = m(x - x(sub1))
But since I can't use subscripts in this, I'll use the one with h and k. The h is the x value of the point, and the k is the y value.
(h,k)
Then just substitute the values in and solve for y.
y - k = m(x - h)
y + 5 = 1/5(x + 5)
y + 5 = 1/5x + 1
y = 1/5x - 4
Your final answer is
y = 1/5x - 4
You can double check by using a graph. If the slopes are the same, the lines should be parallel.
I hope that helps. If anything didn't make sense, feel free to ask me.
Answer:
5.2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the solution, you need to multiply Aretha's time by 1.6, since Neal takes 1.6 as long to run the marathon.
3.25 × 1.6 = 5.2
In other words, Neal takes 5.2 hours to run the marathon. Let me know if I can help you with anything else, 'kay?
