Answer: The right answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- Write out the expression
T1; a = 0.3 ------------ (I)
T8; ar^7 = 38.4 ------------ (ii)
Substituting for 'a' in the second equation, we have;
0.3r^7 = 38.4
0.3r^7 = 38.4
Divide both sides by 0.3
r^7 = 38.4/0.3
r^7 = 128
r = (128)^1/7
r = 2
Answer:
it's 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,200 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 30 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,200 / 30
= 40 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.00 so the total cost is:
= 40 * 3
= $120
Without using the estimate:
The car has to go for 1,211 miles but it consumes a gallon of gasoline for every 29 miles. The number of gallons it will need is therefore:
= 1,211 / 29
= 41.76 gallons
Each gallon costs $3.40 so the total cost is:
= 41.76 * 3.40
= $141.98
<em>Using the estimate provides a lower cost of gasoline for the trip. </em>
