Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Last week, burton paid $36.80 for 11 1/2 gallons of gas. Converting 11 1/2 gallons of gas to decimal, it becomes 11.5. The rate at which Burton bought one gallon of gas last week would be

36.80/11.5 = $3.2

The cost per gallon of gas increased by 5% between last week and this week. The amount by which it increased would be

5/100 × 3.2 = 0.05 × 3.2 = $0.16

The cost of one gallon of gas for this week would be

3.2 + 0.16 = $3.36

She bought 9 1/4 gallons of gas this week. Converting 9 1/4 gallons of gas to decimal, it becomes 9.25 gallons of gas. The amount that she paid for gas this week would be

9.25 × 3.36 = $31.08

Bob newds to mix 2 cups of orange juice concentrate with 3.5 cups of water to make orange juice.Bobvhas 6 cups of concentrate.Ho
aivan3 [116]
So, Bob needs 2 cups of concentrate (I'll use the variable c to shorten it) for every 3.5 cups of water (w). When he has 6 cups of c, he has three times the original recipe, and therefore we need 3w as well. 

3.5x2=6+1=7. So we need 7 cups of water.

Now, 6 cups of concentrate + 7 cups of water = 13 cups of orange juice.

Bob can make 13 cups of orange juice.

Hope I helped!

Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.
Lynna [10]

Complete question :

Jenna’s method: Mia’s method: 5(30 + 4) 5(30 + 4) (5)(30) + (5)(4) 5(34) = 170 150 + 20 = 170 Explain why both Jenna and Mia arrived at the same answer and the advantage of one method over the other.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna's method :

5(30 + 4) = 5(34) = 170

Mia’s method :

5(30 + 4) :

5(30) + 5(4)

150 + 20

= 170

With both methods, we will arrive at the same answer as justified in the workings above. However, Jenna's method gives a very simple approach and less complicated arithmetic by using the distributive property to overrode some multiplication process which Mia went through in her own calculation. Therefore, Jenna's method is less complicated and requires two simple steps at obtaining the final result.
