Time for fractions!!!
I’m going to set a rate of miles per gallon and then cross multiply to get me answer.
41miles/gallon = 617.3/xgallons
617.3 multiplied by 1 and then divided by 41 = about 15.05 gallons
A reasonable estimate then is 15 and a half gallons, because rather than measuring down to the hundredths, the next closest and reasonable measurement is 15 and a half or under.
Comment if you don’t understand and I’ll try to help.
Treat each (time, money) pair as an (x, y) pair, and get the slope of the line:
For Rosita, (5, 128), (7, 164): m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (164 - 128)/(7 - 5) = 18, implying that she earns $18/hr. The y-intercept is calculated as: y = 18x + b, 128 = 18*5 + b, b = $38, meaning that she started with $38. Rosita's equation is y = 18x + 38.
For Garth, (3, 124), (8, 194): m = (194 - 124)/(8 - 3) = 14. For 124 = 14*3 + b, b = $82. Garth's equation is y = 14x + 82
To find out when they will have saved the same amount, both equations would have the same y-value:
18x + 38 = 14x + 82
4x = 44
x = 11 hours
y = 18*11 + 38 = $236 (alternatively, y = 14*11 + 82 = 236)
This means that Rosita and Garth will have both saved $236 after 11 hours of working.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Convert mixed numbers to an improper fractions


step 2
we know that
A teacher reviews 9/2 papers per hour
using proportion
Find how many papers will the teacher review in 19/3 hours
Let
x-----> the number of papers



Convert to mixed numbers

Any fraction in which the numerator's value is the same as the denominator's value will equal 1. For example:
7/7, 6/6, 500/500, etc.
