The first thing to note is since one gallon= 60 miles then 1/2 gallon= 30 miles, now I know 1/2 is not an answer but it is easiest to decrease in moderate amounts. 1/2 gallon= 48 Km so we are close, and 1/2=0.5 so if we brought it down to 0.42 we would have 25.2 miles and 25.2 miles = 40.32. The question wants to know the approximate number and 40.32 is the closest we are going to get so the answer is 0.42

The tenth place is the first number to the right of a decimal. To determine if you're rounding or not, check the hundred's place, 2 numbers to the right of a decimal, for 5 or higher. If it's .45, round to .5, if it's .44, round to .4
Your answer is 524.5, which is B.)

Answer: x+y>5 or (x+y)-5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two potential ways of writing five less than the sum of x and y. You can use an expression or an inequality.
Inequality
By using an inequality, we would use the less than sign because 5 is <u>less than</u> the sum of x and y.
5<x+y
We can also write it where the variables are on the left side, which is usually preferred.
x+y>5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expression
For an expression, we would basically write an equation, but without the equals sign.
(x+y)-5
Since 5 is less than the sum of x and y, we would subtract 5 from x+y. We don't necessarily need to put parentheses around x+y since the order of operations tells us to add or subtract from left to right in order. It is still good to be specific, saying that it is the sum of x and y.
