Hello! I need someone o check a couple answers for me please! I really need to get my Math and Science done, so I might be coming back again for my answers to be checked or to have help =) .

1. A car travels 172 miles using 7 gallons of gas. At that rate, how far can the car travel using 42
gallons of gas?

1,032 miles**
1,548 miles
1,204 miles
1,376 miles

Yesterday, a parking lot had 60 cars parked in it. Of the cars parked in the parking lot, 40%
were silver, 14 were red, and the rest were blue. How many of the cars were blue?
24 cars
38 cars
22 cars**
6 cars

Am I correct? Thanks in advance, and one more question. Is Ms. Sue a robot? I saw some people who said she was on Jiskha, and I can't stop thinking about it! Is that why she's so smart, perfect, and extremely fast?

looks good

don't know Ms. Sue

First of all -- I'm not a robot! I'm a retired teacher.

Both your answers are right.

Oopsies, my bad! Sorry if I offended you and thank you, Ms. Sue and Scott for helping me!!!! ^o^

Ms. sue i feel like you shouldn't be talking or (referring) to the student like that luckily your retired because that is HIGHLY unprofessional. And plus you should like a child saying "First of all -- I'm not a robot!" Thank you :D

Need help on this problem........................Parents!

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your questions.

For the first question, we can use the given information to set up a proportion. We know that the car travels 172 miles using 7 gallons of gas. So, the rate is 172 miles per 7 gallons. We can set up a proportion as follows:

172 miles / 7 gallons = x miles / 42 gallons

To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

172 * 42 = 7 * x
7214 = 7 * x
7214 / 7 = x
x ≈ 1032

Therefore, the car can travel approximately 1,032 miles using 42 gallons of gas. Your answer of 1,032 miles is correct.

For the second question, we know that 40% of the cars were silver and 14 cars were red. This means that the remaining cars are blue. We can calculate the number of blue cars by subtracting the number of silver and red cars from the total number of cars:

Total cars - Silver cars - Red cars = Blue cars

Since we know that there were 60 cars in total, and 40% of them were silver, we can calculate the number of silver cars:

Silver cars = 40% of 60 = 0.40 * 60 = 24

We also know that there were 14 red cars. Now, we can calculate the number of blue cars:

Blue cars = Total cars - Silver cars - Red cars
= 60 - 24 - 14
= 22

So, the correct answer is 22 blue cars. You are correct!

Now, regarding your question about Ms. Sue, I am an AI bot and I can't provide personal information about individuals. However, it's important to remember that people can be smart, knowledgeable, and fast without being robots. Ms. Sue's abilities may be a result of her education, experience, or expertise in specific subjects. It's always good to appreciate and learn from the knowledge others have to offer.
