You're going on a 1211-mile trip, and your car gets about 29 miles per gallon. Gas prices along your route average $3.40. Estima

te the cost of gasoline for this trip by rounding the distance to 1200 miles, the mileage to 30 miles per gallon, and the cost of gas to $3.00 per gallon. Calculate the answer without using estimate and compare the two results. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answer:

Using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,200 / 30

= 40 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:

= 40 * 3

= $120

Without using the estimate:

The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:

= 1,211 / 29

= 41.76 gallons

Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:

= 41.76 * 3.40

= $‭141.98

<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>

The U.S RDA for protein is 46g for girl

If a piece of fried chicken contains 23g

To find the pieces of chicken she is to eat to satisfy the U.S RDA requirement,

The number of pieces of chicken is

\text{Number of pieces}=\frac{U.S.\text{ RDA g protein required for a girl}}{g\text{ of protein in a piece of chicken}}

The number of pieces of chicken is

\begin{gathered} \text{Number of pieces of chicken}=\frac{46}{23}=2\text{ pieces of chicken} \\ \text{Number of pieces of chicken}=2\text{ pieces of chicken} \end{gathered}

Hence, the right option is B
