It cost Irene $58.90 to fill her car's gas tank with 15 and 1 /2 gallons of gas. So what are all the rates that are equivalent to $58.90 for 15 and 1/2 gallons of gas

Answer:
$3.80,26.60, and 41.80 are the right answers
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is divide 58.9 by 15.5 and then the unit rate is 3.80.
So to figure out all the right answers multiply 3.80 by the number of gallon of gas.
This question is based on concept of simple division. hence the correct option is (1),(3),(5).
Given:
Cost of [tex]\bold{15\dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex] gallons of gas is = $58.90
So, cost for each gallon of gas is,
[tex]\dfrac{58.90}{15\frac{1}{2} } = \bold{\$3.8}[/tex]
Now, check which of the rates equal to $3.8,
Firstly, divide 41.8 by 11 we get,
[tex]\dfrac{41.8}{11} = \$3.8[/tex] ...(1)
Now, divide 28.8 by 8 we get,
[tex]\dfrac{28.8}{8} = \$3.6[/tex] ...(2)
Now, divide 26.6 by 7 we get,
[tex]\dfrac{26.6}{7} = \$3.8[/tex] ...(3)
At last, divide 8.55 by 2 we get,
[tex]\dfrac{8.55}{2} = \$4.275[/tex] ...(4)
And, divide 3.8 by 1 we get,
[tex]\dfrac{3.8}{1} = \$3.8[/tex] ...(5)
Therefore, the correct option is (1),(3),(5).
