Your car gets 15 miles per gallon and your friend's car averages 25 mpg. You decide head off to St. George Island on vacation, 361 miles away. If gas costs $2.79/gallon and you decide to split the
gas costs, how much money will you save by driving your friend's car?

the answer is $27.90

Step-by-step explanation:

if you do 15 times 2.79 you will get $41.85

then do 25 times 2.79 and you will get $69.75

then subtract 69.75 from 41.85 and your answer will be $27.90

i hope this helps this is the only way i could find the answer!

175

step-by-step explanation:

2 inches x 10 miles = 200 miles - 3 inches = 175

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
