Question

satellite73 help me :) I got 643 as my answer for this question but I'm not sure if its right. I need someone to help double check.
Question: Over the weekend, Trigg and Craig drove to Lake Pines to go fishing. Now they're preparing to go home. Trigg needs gas for his jeep, which gets 27 miles per gallon for gas millage. When he stops at the gas station he already has 5 gallons of gas in his tank. He buys more gas for $1.25 for galllon. How far will he go for $23.50 on gas. Round to nearest tenth. Please & thnk you :D

Answer 1

guess you need to compute the amount of gas times gas mileage. i get
\[(5+1.25\times 23.5)\times 27\]

Answer 2

798.25?

Answer 3

that is what i got yes!

Answer 4

so rounded would be 798

Answer 5

hold on

Answer 6

i got 928.125

Answer 7

try again

Answer 8

/try what again rounding ?>

Answer 9

did you compute
\[(5+1.25\times 23.5)\times 27\]?

Answer 10

no try the whole computation agani

Answer 11

because i actually get 928.125 i tried it twice

Answer 12

rounded to the nearest tenth would be 928.13

Answer 13

are you sure ? i think you rounded to nearest 100th

Answer 14

yes you are of course right. to the nearest tenth would be 928.1
i am lousy at rounding

Answer 25

Determine how many gallons of gas he bought with $23.50 when gas was $1.24 per gallon. (this was a long time ago lol)

Answer 26

@radar says 1.25

Answer 27

* $1.25 a gal.

Answer 28

i did this like three times at least. still get the same answer. it is a trick or did i mess up somewhere?

Answer 29

You multiplied when you should of divided first post.

Answer 30

(23.50/1.25)+5 = amount of gas in gallons.
that times 27 mpg will get it.

Answer 31

heres another i could use help with ; the tools plus company is planning to produce drills. the company has rented a space for the manufacturing operation at $5000 per month. each drill requires $61 worth of materials and $36 worth of labor ; what is the final cost if the company maked 460 drills ? :)

Answer 32

Answer 33

god am i a moron.

Answer 34

No, you're human.

Answer 35

\[\color{red}{\text{ashamed}}\]

Answer 36

@jackie last one drill requires 61+36 = $67 to make each one, plus 5000 so try
\[97\times 460+5000\]

Answer 37

aww :( dont be ashamed ! :) you only human love :) next time :) thank you anyway though :) i trust u :D

Answer 38

Answer 39

How many months are we talking about, is this one month production?

Answer 40

Answer 41

Lets assume and I think satellite did, it is only for one month.

Answer 42

@satellite or 960$ & @radar it dosnet say moth really :( i wish it would ; make it alot easier .

Answer 43

I think satellite got it, make the computation and that is probably the "approved answer"

Answer 44

do the multiplication first, then the addition. Remember the rules for order of operation.

Answer 45

so am i doing 61+36 = $67 to make each one, plus 5000 so try
97\times 460+5000

Answer 46

I got $49,620 what you get

Answer 47

45,120

Answer 48

how did you get that ?

Answer 49

97 times 460 =44,620
44,620 +5000=49620

Answer 50

Answer 51

Hmmm, have you stated the problem correctly? Is there something we are not considering?

Answer 52

Did they only rent the building for one month?
