Avehicle uses 1 1/8 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 1/2 miles. at this rate, how many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon of gasoline?

The rate is 12 miles per gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vehicle uses 1 1/8 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 1/2 miles.

\implies 1\frac{1}{8}\text{ gallon of gasoline}=13\frac{1}{2}\text{ miles}

\frac{9}{8}\text{ gallon of gasoline}=\frac{27}{2}\text{ miles}

1 \text{ gallon of gasoline}= \frac{8\times 27}{9\times 2}\text{ miles}

1 \text{ gallon of gasoline}= \frac{216}{18}\text{ miles}

1 \text{ gallon of gasoline}= 12\text{ miles}

Hence, the vehicle can travel 12 miles with one gallon of gasoline,

⇒ The rate of travelling is 12 miles per gallon.

introduction, methodology, results, discussion

step-by-step explanation:

an observational study is one which consists of actual observation to record data and then analyse the data.

there are a number of factors that should be analyzed before starting an observational study.

the main four factors are:

i) introduction:   this should be analysed to check whether the purpose of the study is correctly established and the data recorded are appropriate for the study

methodology:   the method of collecting the data, such as whether randomly selected, and whether sample size matches with the population to be studied, whether questions asked are easy to answer by common men, etc.

results: then results such as summary of data with comments should be studied thoroughly

discussion:   the last is the discussion, this can be either by management people or persons who are all interested , etc.
