Read ahmad's argument in favor of changing the minimum driving age from 16 to 15. every year, millions of teenagers look forward to the freedom of earning their driver's license. it has been proven over time that teenagers are fully responsible by the time they are 15, and making teens wait until they are 16 to obtain a driver's license is wrong. many teenagers play sports, work jobs, and have an active social life when they are 15. it would be beneficial to the functioning of society if these people were able to independently drive themselves around. parents agree, too. most people believe that the streets would be safer if the minimum driving age were reduced to 15. what is the best evaluation of ahmad's reasoning? it is illogical because it relies on faulty reasoning. it is logical because it stays on topic. it is illogical because it shows no bias. it is logical because it gives true statistics.

The correct answer is: it is illogical because it relies on faulty reasoning.

Ahmad's argument is considered illogical because they used overgeneralization, a common type of faulty reasoning. Overgeneralization is the act of drawing a conclusion from very little data. In one of the generalizations, they state, "most people believe that the streets would be safer if the minimum driving age were reduced to 15." This is a broad assumption. How was this proven? There are no facts to support the statements.

i just took the test and A.) It is illogical because it relies on faulty reasoning. is correct

answer: if you are saying your dad is white and your mom is mexican, latino ot whatever, then its all about genes.

explanation:

your mom had the dominate trait so you probably took after your mom.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50
