Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 gallons = 7 days
3.5/7 = 0.5
0.5 x 4 = 2
Step 1) You would need to convert your 2 fractions into equivalent numbers. In this case, the closet gcf (greatest common factor) is 12. So, 5/4 would convert to 15/12 and 2/3 converts to 8/12.
Step 2) You know have your decimals that are equivalent. All you have left now is to subtract. Take 15/12 and subtract 8/12 from it. You would now get 7/12 of a mile that is still needed to run.
Step 3) Usually, you would simplify your new fraction. In this case, our fraction doesn't simplify. It will stay 7/12 of a mile. For example, If our number had ended up being 4/12, then we would simplify it to 1/3 of a mile. Because, 4 divided by 4 is 1 and 12 divided by 4 is 3. You can't simplify your answer anymore.

See, please, the solution for the task number 2.
Given:
The initial mass of an element is 800 grams.
Decay rate = 8.2% per day
Number of days = 15
To find:
The remaining element after 15 days.
Solution:
The exponential decay model is
Where, a is the initial value r is the rate of interest and t is time period.
Putting 
in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the mass of the remaining element is 221.7 grams.
3x(4x - 15) < Given
12x^2 - 45x < Distributive law of property
By the way, you are simplifying not solving. You solve equations and simplify expressions.
