one-fourth mile over twenty-five seconds = 36 miles per hour
one-fourth mile over twenty-five seconds = 100 miles per hour
twenty-five seconds over one-fourth mile = 100 miles per hour

@angel12310

Answer 23

1/4 of a mile in 25 seconds = 1 mile in 100 seconds
and there is 3600 seconds per hr

1/100 = x/3600
100x = 3600
x = 36 miles per hr ???

I am thinking A or B....not sure which one

Answer 24

ok. so it all depends on the fraction

Answer 25

prob a

Answer 26

ok ill try

Answer 27

nope, not a

Answer 28

Answer 30

Then put B

Answer 36

Was the answer B right?

Answer 37

look, i have other questions to finish in the same test so i still havent tried

Answer 38

phi what do you think is the answer?

Answer 39

you want to do miles/hours

you are given 1/4 miles
you are given 25 seconds

seconds is time, but you have to change 25 seconds into hours

the way to do that is
25 seconds * 1 hour/3600 seconds = 25/3600 hours
simplify.
flip
multiply times 1/4

Answer 40

25/3600 times 1/4?

Answer 41

remember we are doing
1/4 *divided* by 25/3600

flip the "bottom fraction" and then multiply

Answer 42

that makes sense which means B s the answer.

Answer 43

oh. so then the answer is b. lemme try

Answer 44

Which unit rate is equivalent to 17 miles per gallon?

three gallons over fifty-one miles
fifty-one miles over three gallons
thirty-four miles over four gallons
four gallons over thirty-four miles

Answer 45

i have to answer that question to submit the test

Answer 46

First, which choices have the correct order? do you miles / gallons or gallons/ miles ?

Answer 47

gallons/miles

Answer 48

so then its either a or d

Answer 49

equivalent to 17 miles per gallon?

do you see MILES PER GALLON
and the PER means "divided by"

Answer 50

this can be solved with proportions

Answer 51

oops miles over gallons

Answer 52

b or c

Answer 53

texaschic101?

Answer 54

now check each choice to see which gives 17

Answer 55

17/1 = 51/3 (cross multiply and if it comes out equal, this is your answer)
(51)(1) = (17)(3)
51 = 51 (correct)

17 miles per gallon = 51 miles per 3 gallons

Answer 56

ok thanks :D

Answer 57

Phi probably had an easier way to solve this

Answer 58

A
