Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem above is related to the topic on "Equivalent Ratios." The missing term above is <em>"the number of miles that the vehicle can travel per gallon of gasoline."</em> In order to find this term, you have to use the "cross products."

Let n be the missing term.

  • 1\frac{1}{8} gallons/13\frac{1}{2} miles = \frac{1 gallon}{n}
  • \frac{9}{8} gallons/\frac{27}{2} miles = \frac{1 gallon}{n}
  • \frac{9}{8} x n = \frac{27}{2} x 1 gallon
  • n = \frac{27}{2} ÷ \frac{9}{8}
  • n = \frac{27}{2} x \frac{8}{9}
  • n = 12 miles

Therefore, the vehicle can travel 12 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Answer:

Ok, so this is a word game, basically. The answer would be no, he is not correct BECAUSE...⬇

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks to be asking "Is Jesse correct in saying that he has EXACTLY one liter left?" That would be a no because even though 10L-7L= 3L, the problem asks if he does have exactly ONE liter left, and Jesse says he DOES. But, according to my little equation above, if he drank 7L, he would have 3L left, NOT 1L. Soo, my answer would be "No, Jesse is not correct because 10L-7L=3L and if he says there is 1L left, he would not be correct because there are 3L left." Hope that helps!
