Answer:

29037.036 miles

Step-by-step explanation

There are two possible ways to solve this problem.

The first option starts with the $2800 dollars for the years. You first want to divide this by $2.70, because it will give you the amount of gallons of gas you can buy with that money.

2800/2.70 = 1037.037

This means you can buy 1037.037 gallons of gas in the year. Now you need to convert this to miles by multiplying by the amount of miles per gallon.

1037.037 x 28 = 29037.036 gallons

The second way to look at this is dimensional analysis. If you have learned this, then continue on reading this, but if you haven't I might only confuse you. I only suggest this because it can make it a little easier.

For the dimensional analysis, you need to start with what you are given and move to what you need to know, so you will start with the $2800 dollars and move to gallons. $2.70 per gallon and 28 miles per gallon are your conversion factors.

Set it up like this:

2800 dollars  * \frac{1 gallon}{2.70 dollars} * \frac{28 miles}{1 gallon}  = 29037.036 miles

This allows the equation to be more organized, and you can check your work by canceling the units.

Hope this helps.

zysi [14]

Answer:

About 3891 people saw that movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1: 985 people

Day 2: (985*8)/10 (20% gone) = 788

Day 3: (788*8)/10 (20% gone) = 630.4

Day 4: (630.4*8)/10 (20% gone) = 504.32

Day 5: (504.32*8)/10 (20% gone) = 403.456

Day 6: (403.456*8)/10 (20% gone) = 322.7648

Day 7: (322.7648*8)/10 (20% gone) = 258.21184

Adding this up:

985+788+630.4+504.32+403.456+322.7648+258.21184=

985+788+630+504+403+323+258=3891
