Answer: Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Distance from present location to CheapGas = 4 miles
Price of gas at CheapGas is $0.37 cheaper
Hence, the decision to make a U-turn back to CheapGas or continue on intended destination will rely on two factors ;
1) The number of gallons of gas to purchase
2) The cost of gas required to return to cheap gas.
If a substantial amount of gas is to be purchased, may be 50, 100 or more gallons, the amount saved by making a turn back to cheapGas and purchase gas at $0.37 cheaper per gallon.
Let's apply the formula giving the slope:
m=(y2-y1) /(x2-x1) , let's plug:
m= (8-0) / (3-(-1)) ====> m= 2
Let’s set this equation up to make this easier.
melanie= 2 1/5 miles walked
cathy= 1 3/4 more times than melanie.
when an equation says the word, more than this means adding. when it says less than this means subtraction. when it says times (in this question) then multiply.
so, if cathy walked 1 3/4 more times than melanie what we would do is multiply 1 3/4 to what melanie was walking. so 2 1/5 times 1 3/4 which equals 3.85.
so overall, cathy walked 3.85 more miles than melanie.
