Answer:

$1.25x > $35

x > 28

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is a type of equation where we use symbols such as greater than (>) and less than (<) to solve for a variable that can multiple answers.  In this case, we are looking for the number of times a senior citizen must ride the bus in one month for the $35 monthly pass to be a better deal.  So, the number of times the citizen rides times the cost of each bus ride must be greater than the cost of the montly pass:

$1.25x > $35, where 'x' represents the number of bus rides

If we solve for 'x' by dividing both sides by $1.25, than we know that x > 28, or that the senior citizen must ride the bus more than 28 times in the month for the monthly pass to be a better deal.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2 - sided counter ; (red, yellow)

A spinner (1,2,3,4,5,6)

Number of trials = 80

P(red and number > 3) :

P(red) = 1/2 ;

P(number >3) : numbers greater Than 3 = (4, 5, 6)

Hence, P(number <3) = 3 /6 = 1/2

Theoretical probability = 1/2 *1/2 = 1/4

Expected number of outcomes :

1/4 * number of trials

1/4 * 80 = 20

Experimental outcome :

Relative frequency = number of outcomes / number of trials

Relative frequency = 2/5

Hence,

2/5 = number of outcomes / 80

Cross multiply :

160 = number of outcomes * 5

Number of outcomes = 160 /5 = 32

Actual outcomes = 32

Difference between actual and expected :

32 - 20 = 12

Answer:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is simply asking for the number of miles per gallon . In math, <em>per</em> means this is meant to be written as a fraction.

"If a trip of 270 miles required 18 gallons of gas" is actually saying "270 miles per 18 gallons." This can be written as a fraction like so: 270/18.

If we're looking for the amount of gas used for a 400 mile trip, we have the fraction: 400/g, g being the amount of gallons it took to make that trip.

Now we can set up the proportion: \frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}

Cross multiply and solve accordingly.

\frac{270}{18} =\frac{400}{g}

400270g = 400 *18\\ 270g = 7200\\g=26\frac{2}{3}/g

So the answer is:

It takes 26 2/3 gallons to make a 400 mile trip.
