Answer:
0.98 $/cup
Step-by-step explanation:
The final answer asks for price/cup, as "per" means "divided by".
So, our final units will be in $/cup.
We are given that for every 2 gallons, it will cost $31.36.
In order to get from gallons to cups, we need to convert units.
In 1 gallon, there are 16 cups.
So, our conversion factor will be 16 cups/1 gallon.
$/cup
Important things to note:
- With these types of problems, it makes it much easier if you just figure out what units you need in the final answer, and then use conversions and dimensional analysis to get the answer
To solve, make an equation. The equation would be

x represents the miles driven
to solve, subtract 4 from each side of the equation.
$32-4 = 4-4 + 2x
The equation is now
$28 = 2x
Now you divide by 2 on each side.
$28 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2
simplify
14 = x
The answer is 14 miles
The answer would be $697.5

630 red marbles
420 yellow marbles
210 purple marbles
because 1260 x 1/2 = 630, 1260 x 1/3 = 420, 1260 x 1/6 = 210
