The following table shows the possible meal combinations when choosing an entrée and a side dish at Marty's Diner
How many outcomes include fries or fruit as the side dish?

A total of 6 outcomes include fries or fruit as the side dish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

There is a total of 9 possible meal combinations. A person must choose an Entree and a side dish.

The Entrees consist of burgers, tacos, and pizzas.

The side dishes consist of salad, fries, and fruit.

Step 2:

To determine the number of combinations consisting of fries or fruit, we calculate the individual combinations.

With fries as your side dish, you can choose a burger, a pizza or a taco as your Entree. The same can be done with salad as your side dish.

There are 3 combinations each so there are a total of 6 combinations with fruit or fries as the side dish.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
