The total expenditure on fuel for the trip is approximately $18.50.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Fuel efficiency = 8 miles per gallon

Cost per gallon = 83 cents

To find the fuel cost for traveling from Oban to Stranraer, we must know the distance which is roughly 178 miles.

Step one:

Calculate gallons of fuel required (x) =

\frac{Total distance}{x gallon} = \frac{average distance}{gallon}

\frac{178}{x gallon} = \frac{ 8}{gallon}

x gallons = \frac{178}{8}  = 22.25 gallon

The calculated fuel consumption for the trip is 22.25 gallons.

Step two:

Determine total fuel cost

= Fuel used × Price per gallon

= 22.25 gallons × $0.83 = 1846.75 cents, equivalent to $18.47 or rounded to $18.50 (nearest 5 cents)

Answer:

$18.56

Detailed solution:    

The given distance from Oban to Stranraer is 178.9 miles.

First, determine the gallons of fuel consumed by dividing this distance by the vehicle's mileage (miles per gallon).

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{gallon}}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=\frac{178.9\text{ miles}}{8}\times \frac{\text{gallon}}{\text{miles}}

\text{Total number of gallons of fuel used during the journey}=22.3625\text{gallon}

Next, calculate the total fuel expense by multiplying the amount of fuel used by the price per gallon, which is $0.83.

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=22.3625\times\$0.83

\text{Total cost in fuel during the journey}=\$18.560875\approx \$18.56

Hence, the total fuel cost for this trip amounts to $18.56.

Sasha is bisecting a segment. First, she places the compass on one endpoint, opens it to a width larger than half of the segment
AnnZ [3900]

Answer:

A) Create arcs on both sides to intersect the first two arcs made.

Step-by-step explanation:

To bisect a segment, it involves dividing a line into two equal sections using a bisector.

The steps include;

  • Positioning a compass on one endpoint
  • Adjusting the compass to a width larger than half of the segment
  • Sweeping an arc on both sides of the segment
  • Maintaining the compass width, placing it on the opposite endpoint
  • Sweeping arcs on both sides to meet the initially drawn arcs
  • Utilize a ruler to draw the line bisector at the intersection points of the arcs.

Sasha had reached step four.

Jorden drives to the store at 30 miles per hour. On her way home she averages only 20 miles per hour. If the total driving time
Svet_ta [4341]
For this scenario, we can define:
d = v * t

Where,
d represents distance
v signifies speed
t indicates time
Rearranging to find time gives us:
t = d / v

The total driving duration is half an hour:
t = d / v1 + d / v2

1.5 = d / 30 + d / 20
Rearranging for d results in:
1.5 * 30 * 20 = 20d + 30d

1.5 * 30 * 20 = 50d

d = (1.5 * 30 * 20) / (50)

d = 18 miles
Conclusion:
she lives 18 miles from the store

Evaluate. 58−(14)2=58-142= ________
Zina [3917]

In this scenario, we start with the following expression:

58- (14) ^ 2

The first step involves evaluating the quadratic component.

Next, we have:

58- (14) ^ 2 = 58-196

The following step is to subtract the two resultant values:

58- (14) ^ 2 = -138

It is clear that the outcome of this operation is a negative value.

Answer:

The expression results in:

58- (14) ^ 2 = -138

The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi
Inessa [3926]

Answer:

The likelihood that a failure will not take place within the next 30 months is 0.0454.

Step-by-step explanation:

We employ a Poisson distribution where:

t = time units

x = occurrences during t units

λ = average occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raised to the power of (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

Here, λt equals 25.

x equals 30.

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E signifies exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Utilizing a statistical calculator will yield:

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur prior to 30 months is 0.0454.
