Answer:

<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.

The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.

The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.

Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.

The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm

Gas station A has posted a chart that shows the price of gasoline in terms of the number of gallons. Gallons Price 3 9.15 5 15.2
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

C. Gas Station A sells gasoline at a lower rate. Its price is $3.05 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, all you need to do is first figure out how much per gallon each of the gas stations offer.

Because Gas station B is practically given to you by the equation, I'll show you how to interpret it:

p = $3.08g

p is the price

g is the gallon

So the price you will pay will be $3.08 times the number of gallons. This means that 1 gallon, if you substitute it will be $3.08.

This would eliminate options A and B.

Now to figure out how much Gas station A charges, just choose one of the prices. All we need to do is to divide the price given by the number of gallons:

3 gallons = \$ 9.15\\\\\dfrac{3gallons} {3}=\dfrac{\$9.15}{3}=\$3.05

So Gas station A is lower than Gas station B.
