How do I solve this problem?

1 answer:

8 0

First, lets convert the 1/8 of a mile into decimal form. To convert 1/8 to a decimal, divide the denominator into the numerator. 1 divided by 8 = . 125.

For the first 0.125 miles, its $1.75. So remove that from the ride cost and keep track of the 0.125 miles elsewhere.

$7.75 - $1.75 = $6
Miles: 0.125

We’re left with $6. Let’s divide the $6 by $0.30 to figure out how many miles the $6 will buy us.

6 / 0.30 = 20
So 0.30 goes into 6 twenty times.

So our answer will be the sum of 20 and 0.125.
20 + 0.125 = 20.125 Miles

Answer: $7.75 will buy you a 20.125 mile ride.

Which expressions are polynomials? Select each correct answer. 30y^2 30y^2+x 30y2x 30y2+x12

gregori [183]

To know which of the following expressions are polynomials, let us look at the definition of a polynomial:

Polynomial is derived from poly- (which means "many") and -nomial (meaning "term"), so it says "many terms".

For an instance: $2x^2y+2y^2$ is a polynomial, but $4xy^2$ is not a polynomial because it contains single term only.
