A. If Sam drives 60.25 miles to visit his mother and 83.9 miles to visit his friend, the total distance he will drive is 60.25 + 83.9 = 144.15 miles.

To find out how many miles he has left until his gas tank is empty, we subtract the total distance he will drive from the amount of gas left in his tank:

178.8 - 144.15 = 34.65 miles

So Sam will have 34.65 miles left until his gas tank is empty.

B. To find out how many problems Mia can correctly answer in 3 minutes, we first need to find out how many problems she can correctly answer in 1 minute. Let's call this "p".

We know that she correctly answers one problem for every 0.048 minutes, so in 1 minute, she can answer 1 / 0.048 = 20.83 problems.

To find out how many problems she can correctly answer in 3 minutes, we simply multiply the number of problems she can answer in 1 minute by 3:

3 * 20.83 = 62.5 problems

So Mia can correctly answer 62.5 problems in 3 minutes.

If Sam drives 6.25 miles to visit his mother every 0.048 minutes, and then drives 83.9 miles to visit his friend, he will have 8.45 miles left in his gas tank when he reaches his destination. If Mia correctly answers one problem every 0.048 minutes, she can correctly answer 62.5 problems in 3 minutes.
