obtain an equivalent measure.
ent yino qu
Jenna's 4Runner is expected to get 22 miles/gallon on the highway, or she can rent a
Hyundai Elantra, which gets 40 miles/gallon.27 On her next trip, she will drive 150 miles,
and gas is expected to cost $3.59/gallon.
2)
Part A: Use your estimation skills to estimate which vehicle would cost more in gas. About
how much more? Explain your strategy.
Part B: What is the actual cost of the gas for each vehicle? Explain your strategy.
3)
What is the total cost of the Elantra if rental is $98.98 plus 15.3% tax? (Gas is not included
in this price, and the car must be returned to the agency with a full tank.)

- Theme: Risk Assessment 100 Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning, In-Class Activities, Lesson 14.C Lesson 14 Part C, Blood alcohol content Blood alcohol content (BAC) is a measurement of how much alcohol is in someone's blood. It is usually measured as a percentage, so a BAC of 0.3% is three-tenths of 1%. That is, there are 3 grams of alcohol for every 1,000 grams of blood. A BAC of 0.05% impairs reasoning and the ability to concentrate. A BAC of 0.30% can lead to a blackout, shortness of breath, and loss of 1) BAC is usually determined by a breathalyzer, urinalysis, or blood test. However, Swedish physician E.M.P.
