Alyssa wants to know the gas mileage of her new car. She kept track of the number of miles she traveled and the number of gallon

s she used. Which method and reasoning can Alyssa use to calculate the gas mileage in miles per gallon?
Miles Traveled : 243.8
Gallons Used : 7.71

A. 243.8 miles × 7.71 gallons
because multiplying a quantity with units of miles by a quantity with units of gallons gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

B. 243.8 miles - 7.71 gallons
because subtracting a quantity with units of gallons from a quantity with units of miles gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

C. 7.71 gallons ÷ 243.8 miles
because dividing a quantity with units of gallons by a quantity with units of miles gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

D. 243.8 miles ÷ 7.71 gallons
because dividing a quantity with units of miles by a quantity with units of gallons gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alyssa wants to know her gas mileage, which is MILES PER GALLON, she will need to divide total miles by total gallons.

"per gallon" means per 1 unit of gallon, which we will get ONLY IF WE DIVIDE by TOTAL NUMBER OF GALLONS, hence we get "per unit of gallon".

<u>So we need to divide 243.8 miles by 7.71 gallons to get Alyssa's gas mileage.</u>

Answer choice D is right.

H is directly proportional to the square root of p h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 find h when p =2.89
LenKa [72]

Answer:

h=7.65

Step-by-step explanation:

H is directly proportional to the square root of p;

Let k be the constant of proportionality;

Means h=k√p

This means for corresponding points of h and p such that (h1,p1) and (h2,p2) we have;

h1/√p1=h2/√p2

Let h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 and h when p =2.89 be respectively (h1,p1) and (h2,p2)

So that

5.4/√1.44=h/√2.89

5.4/√1.44 ×√2.89 = h

7.65= h

h=7.65

Which situation could be represented by the graph?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

A program at a community college can be completed in no fewer than 8 months, but must be completed in less than 11 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The closed dot means the number is equal to and the open dot means the number is less/ greater than

2. The line goes right from the 8 with a closed dot, making x greater than or equal to 8

3. The line goes left from the 11 with an open dot, making x less than ll

4. This means the number must be equal to or greater than 8, and less than 11

Harvey has “r” red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. Choose the expression that shows how many orange peppers Harve
lana [24]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}r

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of red pepper that Harvey has is r red peppers and one fourth as many orange peppers. What this means is that the number of orange pepper that Harvey has is one fourth the number of red peppers. Since the number of red pepper is r, therefore the number of orange pepper is given as:

Number of orange pepper = \frac{1}{4} \ of\ red\ pepper(r)

Number\ of\ orange\ pepper=\frac{1}{4}r

Sue played four games of golf.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Sue's scores for the four games in ascending order are: 97, 98, 98, 107

Step-by-step explanation:

Her modal score was 98.  The mode is found by using the number that appears most often.  This means that 98 has to appear at least two times out of the four scores.

Her range was 10.  The range is found by taking the highest score and subtracting it from the lowest score.  The highest score had to be greater than 98 and the lowest score had to be less than 98 since we know the mode was 98.

Her mean score was 100.  This mean is found by adding all the numbers together and then dividing by the total numbers listed.  Adding the four scores together and dividing by 4 will equal 100.

Used guess and test:

Highest Number, 98, 98, Lowest Number

107 - 97 = 10 (meets range requirement)

97 + 98 + 98 + 107 = 400

400/4 = 100 (meets the mean requirement)
