This is a couple of my childs homework, can anyone help me? I want to be able to check if he did it correctly.

1. A car uses 4 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 56 miles. At that rate, how much gasoline will a trip of 112 miles require?

2. Simplify. m^6/6 / m^8/30

Thanks to anyone that can help!

1.

112 miles is double 56 miles. The car will need double the gasoline. That’s 8 gallons.

Formally, the calculation would be written 112 * 4 / 56.

You then cancel the 56 into the 112 giving 2, which multiplies by 4 to give 8.

2.

(m^6 / 6) / (m^8 / 30)

Change the middle division sign to multiply, and invert the fraction in the second bracket. That gives:

( m^6 / 6) * (30 / m^8)

Now resequence the multiplications before the divisions:

(30m^6) / (6m^8)

Divide the 6 into the 30 giving 5 on top.

Divide m^6 into m^8 giving m^2 below.

Result 5 / m^2.

1. 4 / 56 = 14

112 /14 = 8 gallons of gasoline

2. I’m not sure what you are asking. I think you are trying to simplfy the fraction. 6/6 =1 and 8/30= 4/15

1) 4 gallons for every 56 miles… 112 miles is twice of 56 miles. Thus, you need double of the gas.

ANSWER: 8 gallons

2) If you mean this [m^(6/6)] / [m^(8/30)]

Division of exponential numbers with same base (eg: m) just subtracts the exponents, so (6/6)-(8/30)=(22/30) or (11/15)

ANSWER: m^(11/15)

1. Set up a proportion and solve.

4/56 = x/112 (read 4 is to 56 as x is to 12)

Now cross multiply and get: 56x = 112*4 or 56x=448. Now solve for x by dividing 448 by 56 and get x= 8 gallons.

2. This is simplifying exponents.

m^6/6 / m^8/30

First when dividing by a fraction, you need

multiply by the reciprocal (just flip the 2nd fraction and multiply), so you have m^6/6 * 30/m^8. Now multiply and get 30m^6/6m^8.

Now divide and get 5m^-2. Finally, simplify by bringing the negative exponent to the bottom of the fraction and make it positive and you have 5/m^2. I know this sounds confusing, you may want to review rules of simplifying exponents.

first part…

1. 56 miles = 4 gallons

112miles = 56 x 2 …. 2 x 4 = 8 gallons

2. M^22/30

i think this is the answer to number 2…kinda tricky to work and put it in the answer box…

Mam, particular you will get your son back, yet you should perform a little praying, God knows you probably did not intentionally not pass make your son became ok, He knows; you should pass to the plice station placed a warrant out on the female you in elementary terms knew little over a month, supply the police the female’s call(its in all probability fake) yet enable them to verify besides, additionally arise with the social worker that spoke to your brother, discover out why she on no account got here back to talk to your brother?
