Question

ghazi · Answer

in 18 games 14 runs were made 
therefore in 1 game number of runs = 14/18=7/9=0.78
now, in 15 games 12 runs were made 
therefore in one game runs made= 12/15= 4/5=0.8
in second session he scored more runs

you are getting ready to make a 640 mile car trip. in general, your car can drive 160 miles on 5 gallons of gasoline. how many gallons of gasoline will you use for your trip? you started out with 4 gallons of gasoline in your car and gasoline is $2.29 per gallon.how much will you spend on gasoline on the trip?

ghazi · Answer

160 miles in 5 gallons
1 mile in 5/160 gallons = 0.03125 gallons
therefore for 640 mile ,number of gallon = 640*0.03125=20 gallons 
i already had 4 gallons so i need 16 more
1 gallon cost 2.29 therefore 16 = 16*2.29= $ 36.64 :)))
