Avan travels 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas. how far does it travel per gallon? carlos installed 24 wooden cabinets in 8 days. on the average, how many cabinets did he install each day? which is a better buy—100 sheets of binder paper at $2.50, or 150 sheets at $3.50? julie is trying to choose between two packs of cookies. pack a has 36 cookies for $5.90. pack b has 24 cookies for $4.10. which pack has cheaper cookies? anita is offered two summer jobs. one is in retail and pays $500 for a 40-hour work week. the other job is at a restaurant and pays $12 an hour. which job has a higher hourly rate?

van : 12 miles per gallon

cabinets: 3 cabinets a day

retail job for $500

Step-by-step explanation:

van: 240 miles/20 gallons = 12 miles per gallon

cabinets: 24/8= 3

jobs: $500 for 40 hours and $12 times 40 hours gets you $480

first job pays $20 bucks more

Ques 1)

A van travels 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

This means that 20 gallons of gas is used to travel 240 miles.

This means that:

1 gallon of gas is used to travel  :

Hence, it travels 12 miles per gallon.

Ques 2)

Carlos installed 24 wooden cabinets in 8 days.

i.e. in 8 days he install 24 cabinets

This means in 1 day he will install

On the average, he will  install 3 cabinets each day.

Ques 3)

100 sheets cost $ 2.50

This means that cost of 1 sheet is: $ 0.0250

( since,   )

150 sheets at $3.50

This means that cost of 1 sheet is: $ 0.0233

( since,   )

This means that the cost per sheet is cheaper in the buy:

    150 sheets at $3.50.

Ques 4)

Pack A has 36 cookies for $5.90.

This means that cost of 1 cookie is: $ 0.16388 )

(  since,   )

and  Pack B has 24 cookies for $4.10.

This means that cost of 1 cookie is: $ 0.170833

( since, )

The cost per cookie is cheaper in Pack A.

Hence, the pack which has cheaper cookies is: Pack A.

Ques 5)

One is in retail and pays $500 for a 40-hour work week.

This means that the payment for 1 hour is: $ 12.5

( since, )

The other job is at a restaurant and pays $12 an hour.

This means that the job which has a higher hourly rate is:

In retail which pays $500 for a 40-hour work week.      

( since 12.5>12  )        

(2 x^3 + 7 x^2 + 5 x + 2)/(x (x + 2))

step-by-step explanation:

simplify the following:

x/x^2 + 3 x + 2 - (x (x + 1))/(x + 2)

combine powers. x/x^2 = x^(1 - 2):

x^(1 - 2) + 3 x + 2 - (x (x + 1))/(x + 2)

1 - 2 = -1:

x^(-1) + 3 x + 2 - (x (x + 1))/(x + 2)

put each term in 1/x + 3 x + 2 - (x (x + 1))/(x + 2) over the common denominator x (x + 2): 1/x + 3 x + 2 - (x (x + 1))/(x + 2) = (x + 2)/(x (x + 2)) + (3 x^2 (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) + (2 x (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) - (x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2)):

(x + 2)/(x (x + 2)) + (3 x^2 (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) + (2 x (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) - (x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2))

(x + 2)/(x (x + 2)) + (3 x^2 (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) + (2 x (x + 2))/(x (x + 2)) - (x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2)) = ((x + 2) + 3 x^2 (x + 2) + 2 x (x + 2) - x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2)):

(2 + x + 3 x^2 (x + 2) + 2 x (x + 2) - x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2))

3 x^2 (x + 2) = 3 x^3 + 6 x^2:

(2 + x + 3 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 2 x (x + 2) - x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2))

2 x (x + 2) = 2 x^2 + 4 x:

(2 + x + 6 x^2 + 3 x^3 + 2 x^2 + 4 x - x^2 (x + 1))/(x (x + 2))

-x^2 (x + 1) = -x^2 - x^3:

(-x^2 - x^3 + 3 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 2 x^2 + 4 x + x + 2)/(x (x + 2))

grouping like terms, 3 x^3 - x^3 + 6 x^2 + 2 x^2 - x^2 + 4 x + x + 2 = (3 x^3 - x^3) + (6 x^2 + 2 x^2 - x^2) + (x + 4 x) + 2:

((3 x^3 - x^3) + (6 x^2 + 2 x^2 - x^2) + (x + 4 x) + 2)/(x (x + 2))

3 x^3 - x^3 = 2 x^3:

(2 x^3 + (6 x^2 + 2 x^2 - x^2) + (x + 4 x) + 2)/(x (x + 2))

6 x^2 + 2 x^2 - x^2 = 7 x^2:

(2 x^3 + 7 x^2 + (x + 4 x) + 2)/(x (x + 2))

x + 4 x = 5 x:

answer:   (2 x^3 + 7 x^2 + 5 x + 2)/(x (x + 2))
