Carole's car averages 13.2 mi/gal in city driving and 25.3 mi/gal in highway driving. If she drove a total of 396.0 mi on 19 gal of gas, how many of the gallons (to the nearest gallon) were used for city driving?

7 gallons were used for city driving.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to solve this question by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of gallons driven in the city.

y is the number of gallons driven in the highway.

19 gal of gas

This means that

Carole's car averages 13.2 mi/gal in city driving and 25.3 mi/gal in highway driving. If she drove a total of 396.0 mi.

This means that

How many of the gallons (to the nearest gallon) were used for city driving?

This is x

From the first equation, i will have

Replacing in the second equation

7 gallons were used for city driving.

answer: just subtact the units and then add the non negative : happy to

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
