Answer:

The new car travels 247.5 miles more than the old one on 30 gallons of gas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fuel consumption of the old car was:

car_{old} = 18 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{73}{4} \text{ miles per gallon}

The new one can travel a distance of 390 7/8 miles by using 14 3/4 gallons of fuel, therefore the consumption is:

car_{new} = \frac{390.875}{14.75} = 26.5 \text{ miles per gallon}

If the tank holds 30 gallons, on the old car the distance would be:

distance_{old} = 18.25*30 = 547.5 \text{ miles}

On the new one it will be:

distance_{new} = 26.5*30 = 795 \text{ miles}

So the new car is able to travel 247.5 miles more than the old one on 30 gallons of gas.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Z_{0.05}=1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :In a recent questionnaire about food, a random sample of 970 adults were asked about whether they prefer eating fruits or vegetables, and 458 reported that they preferred eating vegetables.

To Find :What value of z should be used to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level?

Solution:

Confidence level = 95 % i.e.0.95

So, significance level = 5% i.e. 0.05

So, the value of z corresponding to significance level 0.05 should be used  to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level

So, Z_{0.05}=1.645

Hence z should be 1.645 to calculate a confidence interval with a 95 % confidence level.

Jack bought 4 dozen eggs at $10 per dozen. 6 were broken. what percent of his money goes to waste
Korvikt [17]

So, if he has 4 dozen eggs, ten dollars per dozen, he has spent $40 on 48 eggs. <em>This means the cost of one egg = 48/40. </em>This can simplify to <em>6/5 </em>which is equal to<em> $1.20. </em>This means the value of one egg is $1.20, including the broken ones! So if six were broken, we multiply 1.20 x 6 which equals <em>$7.20!</em>

Use this "formula" to help find percentages

<em>Part/Total = %( Percentage )/ 100</em>

Now that we know how much money has gone to waste, we can plug in the known values into this "formula."

<em>7.2/48 = x/100</em>

Solve accordingly; cross multiply, 720 = 48x; divide both sides of the equation by 48 to isolate the variable, 720/48 = 48x/48; now you have your final answer which is:

15 = x; going back to the "formula" this means 15% of his money has gone to waste. I hope this helped! :)

Lauryn’s wages were not as much as she had budgeted. How can her budget be modified so there will be a positive actual net incom
shutvik [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Her variable expenses can be reduced.

Explanation:

In a household budget, you have fixed expenses and variable expenses.

Fixed expenses are expenses that are the same from month to month, such as a car payment, rent, power bill, etc. These cannot be reduced; if you were to pay less on your car payment, your car would be repossessed; paying less than you owe on the power bill can result in your power being disconnected; etc.

Variable expenses are expenses that are different from month to month, such as food, clothing, shopping, etc. If you are dealing with a situation where your wages are less than you anticipate, you can reduce items within your variable expenses to make sure you have enough money. For example, you can purchase fewer clothes that pay period or cut your grocery bill down.

Lisa says that the indicated angles cannot have the same measure. Marita disagrees and says she can prove that they can have the
AlexFokin [52]
I agree with Marita, that the angles could have the same measure.  This can be proven if you set the two amounts equal and solve for x. 

9x - 25 + x = x + 50 + 2x - 12

To begin, we should combine like terms on both sides of the equation to start simplifying the equation.

10x - 25 = 3x + 38

Next, we should subtract 3x from both sides and add 25 to both sides to get the variable x alone on the left side of the equation.

7x = 63

Finally, we should divide both sides by 7, to get rid of the coefficient of x.

x = 9

If you plug in 9 for x in our first equation, you get that both of the angle measurements equal 65 degrees.  This means that Marita is correct, because if x = 9, then the angles would have the same measure.
