At the pizza party you and two friends decide to go to Mexico City from El Paso, TX where y'all live. You volunteer your car if everyone chips in for gas. Someone asks how much the gas will cost per person on a round trip. Your first step is to call your smarter brother to see if he'll figure it out for you. Naturally he's too busy to bother, but he does tell you that it is 2015 km to Mexico City, there's 11 cents to the peso, and gas costs 5.8 pesos per liter in Mexico. You know your car gets 21 miles to the gallon, but we still don't have a clue as to how much the trip is going to cost (in dollars) each person in gas ($/person).

cost_cost = $ 96

Explanation:

In this exercise we have units in the groin system and the SI system, to avoid problems let's reduce everything to the SI system

         performance = 21 miles / gallon (1,609 km / 1 mile) (1 gallon / 3,785 l)

         perfomance= 8,927 km / l

now let's use a direct rule of proportions (rule of three). If a liter travels 8,927 km, how many liters are needed to travel the 2015 km

          #_gasoline = 2015 km (1l / 8.927 km) = 225.72 liters

Now let's find the total cost of fuel. Ns indicates that $ 0.11 = 1 peso and the liter of fuel costs 5.8 pesos

            cost_litre = 5.8 peso ($ 0.11 / 1 peso) = $ 0.638

             cost_gasoline = #_gasoline   cost_litro

             cost_gasoline = 225.72   0.638

             cost_gasoline = $ 144

This cost is for the one way trip, the total round trip cost is

             cost_total = 2 cost_gasoline

             cost_total = $ 288

Now let's look for the cost in the vehicle, you and two people will go, for which a total of 3 people will go, so the cost per person is

                cost_person = total_cost / #_people

                cost_person = 288/3

                cost_cost = $ 96

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (d) a very small amount of mass

ill do it for 100, also this isnt 80 its 40
