Answer 1

1. Mai was moving faster as she covered a greater distance in the same amount of time.

Speed = Distance

-----------

Time

2. The best deal is Store Z. We must divide to determine the price each business is charging for a single can in order to particularly choose the greatest deal.

For Store X, each can is $0.62

For Store Y, each can is $0.60

Store Z is the best deal due to how cheap each can of juice costs.

3 (Part 1) It costs $1,200 for each square foot. The cost of the apartment is $540,000 & the area of the apartment is 450 feet. You can divide 540,000 by 450 and you should get 1,200.

3 (Part 2) The home costs $231,000. You can use the two numbers in the question "2,100" and "110". You should get $231,000 after adding those two numbers.

4. Approximately 3.8 liters are in a gallon. 3.8 is closest to 4 so you can round it up to 4 liters.
