My teacher gave me a number and told me to subtract 5 from the number and then multiply the result by 8. Unfortunately, I wasn't listening. I thought she told me to subtract 8 first and then multiply the result by 5. I did those computations correctly and came up with 70 as my answer. What is the correct answer to the question my teacher actually asked me?

136

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtracted 8 and multiplied it later 70 divided by 5 is 14 plus 8 equals 22 so 22 was the number I suppose

22 minus 5 equals 17, 17 times 8 equals 136 so the original answer was 136

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
