Hello. Can someone help me? I'm not very sure about some of these :(

Stephen read a 90-page book in 6 days. If he continues reading at that rate, how long will ittake him to read a 300-page book?
Answer: 20 days. I found this by doing 90/6=15, and then 300/15=20.

Mrs. Walters drove 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas. Mr. Walters drove 480 miles on 32 gallons
of gas.
a. Find the mileage per gallon for Mrs. Walters's car.
b. Find the mileage per gallon for Mr. Walters's car.
c. Which car is getting the better mileage per gallon?

Am I supposed to be doing 360/25? And then 480/32? And then see which number is bigger? Is that it?

The distance between Milltown and Summerville is 3.5 inches on a map. If the map scale is 1 inch = 20 miles, what is the actual distance between the towns?

70 miles, because if 1 inch equals 20 miles, and there are 3.5 inches on the map, I have to do 20x3.5, which is 70.

Can someone help with the first one and check my others? It would mean a lot to me, I haven't been understanding math since 3rd grade and my mother had me skip a grade of math, it's really overwhelming and I'll repeat this year of math Imy mother does not see improvement,and I will apparently not go outside on summer. "Spend everyday doing math". This is another one of the many reasons math and I don't have a good relationship. I ranted a bit, I'm sorry. Can someone please help? Again, it means a lot to me =)

I really think I do 360/25 and 480/32. If I do, that would be 14.4 mpg(Mrs.Walters) and 15 mpg (Mr. Walters), which means Mr. Walters has the better mileage, right?

Yes

Hello! I'm here to help you with your math questions. Don't worry, I'll do my best to explain things step by step so that you can understand them better.

For the first question about Stephen reading a 90-page book in 6 days, you're on the right track. To find out how many pages Stephen reads per day, you divide the total number of pages (90) by the number of days (6). So, 90 divided by 6 equals 15. This means that Stephen reads 15 pages per day.

To apply the same rate to a 300-page book, you divide the total number of pages (300) by the number of pages read per day (15). So, 300 divided by 15 equals 20. Therefore, it will take Stephen 20 days to read a 300-page book.

For the second question about Mrs. Walters and Mr. Walters' cars, you're correct in finding the mileage per gallon by dividing the total distance traveled by the number of gallons of gas used.

For Mrs. Walters' car, you divide 360 miles by 25 gallons, which equals 14.4 miles per gallon (rounded to one decimal place).

For Mr. Walters' car, you divide 480 miles by 32 gallons, which equals 15 miles per gallon.

So, Mrs. Walters' car gets 14.4 miles per gallon and Mr. Walters' car gets 15 miles per gallon.

To determine which car gets better mileage per gallon, you compare the numbers. In this case, Mr. Walters' car gets a slightly higher mileage per gallon (15) compared to Mrs. Walters' car (14.4). Therefore, Mr. Walters' car is getting better mileage per gallon.

For the last question about the map scale and the actual distance between Milltown and Summerville, you correctly identified that 1 inch on the map represents 20 miles. Since the distance on the map is given as 3.5 inches, you multiply 3.5 by 20 to get the actual distance. So, 3.5 multiplied by 20 equals 70. Therefore, the actual distance between Milltown and Summerville is 70 miles.

I hope these explanations help you understand the problems better. Remember, it's important to practice math consistently to improve your skills over time. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions!
