You need to buy some chicken for dinner tonight. You found an ad showing that the store across town has it on sale for $2.89 a p

ound, which is cheaper than your usual neighborhood store, which sells it for $3.19 a pound. Is it worth the extra drive?
First, determine what information you need to answer this question, then click here to display that info (along with other info).

How much chicken will you be buying? 5 pounds

How much far are the two stores? My neighborhood store is 2.4 miles away, and takes about 9 minutes. The store across town is 8.4 miles away, and takes about 23 minutes.

How kind of mileage does your car get? It averages about 23 miles per gallon in the city.

How many gallons does your car hold? About 14 gallons

How much is gas? About $3.81/gallon right now.

Answer:

   1. Going to the close store is cheaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the prices of chicken is 3.19 -2.89 = 0.30 per pound, so for 5 pounds of chicken, the far store offers a price that totals 5×$0.30 = $1.50 less.

The difference in travel distances is 8.4 -2.4 = 6 miles, so the total round-trip distance difference is 12 miles. The cost of gas is ...

  ($3.81 /gal)/(23 mi/gal) = $0.1656 /mi

so the cost of gas for the 12-mile longer trip would be

  12×$0.1656 ≈ $1.99

Traveling to the far store, you would spend $1.99 more on gas to save $1.50 on the price of chicken. Going to the close store is cheaper.

Answer: What's the exponents?

Step-by-step explanation:

5.2+3.01=8.21

but then there's no exponents that you stated. So it would be 8.21x10^?

If the tens do have exponents above them, add them together.

I hope this answer helps you!

Point Fis on line segment EG. EG = 100, EF = 4x - 20, and FG = 2x + 30. Write an equation that you would use to solve for x, the
andrew-mc [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment = EG

point on a line segment = F

EG = 100

EF = 4x - 20

FG = 2x + 30

a/q, EF + FG = EG

the equation is

4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

now solution for x is

→ 4x - 20 + 2x + 30 = 100

→ 6x + 10 = 100

→ 6x = 100 - 10 = 90

→ x = 90/6 = 15

therefore, value of x is 15.

and according to given information

EF = 4x - 20 = 4(15) - 20 = 60 - 20 = 40

FG = 2x + 30 = 2(15) + 30 = 30 + 30 = 60

hope this answer helps you dear..take care and may u have a great day ahead!

HURRY LIMITED TIME
lakkis [162]
If g is the gallons of gas, and the truck holds up to 20 gallons, then g can be anything from 0 to 20.

If there is zero gallons of gas (g = 0) then the truck will travel zero miles because M(0) = 17(0) = 0.

The max miles depends on the max gallons of gas, so the miles possible with 20 gallons is M(20) = 17(20) = 340.

So, g ranges from 0 to 20 and M(g) ranges from 0 to 340.
Therefore your answer is the last option.
