    I didn’t hear I, but do you do any general chemistry? I’m asking because I used this video today (2.4.24) to help me with a problem on my gen chem homework. Than you. Mr John 🎉❤

    Thank you, needed this just now, if you look at cars with 22, 25, 26 per gal, how would you find the mean of that? Median is mid number 25 right?

      Hi, to find the mean of 22, 25 and 26, we would need to add these three numbers. In this case, 22+25+26 = 73. Now, we divide the sum by 3, because that is the number of gallons of gas we have. Therefore, 73/3 = 24 and 1/3.
      Thanks for the question!

    How did your units cancel out when you crossed multiplied? I see an error here or are we just making an assumption on what unit to use in the end? Fuzzy math!

    When they teach arithmetic, why don't they lay out the numbers horizontically like you will see in Algebra? Instead of vertically

      My question is if the car is completely empty to begin with, how did it get to the gas station?
      How far will $175 get you on a Greyhound bus?

      That's the correct answer.

      @@makeitso4793 that’s probably because the 777.777 is miles, not dollars.

    Well, the first step is to find out how much gas can this guy get with $175.
    So, we would have the following equation:
    4.5x = 175
    4.5x/4.5 = 175/4.5
    x = 1750/45
    x = 350/9
    So, with $175, you can by 350/9 gallons of gas.
    The next step is to figure out how far can the car travel with 350/9 gallons of gas.
    Well, it says that the car uses 20 gallons per mile. Thus, we would have this equation:
    20 miles per gallon times the amount of gallons purchased with $175 equals to the total miles that the car can travel.
    So, let t be the total distance.
    t = 20*350/9
    t = 778 miles (aproximation).

    I am wondering what grade of math is this supposed to be for? I am guessing this must be grade 7- 8, correct? Anyone can tell me and will appreciate very much.

    Don't like Lemonade unless there is vodka in it. Gas cost so much, I can't even buy some cheap Russian vodka to put in it.

    The only value in this guy's videos is comedic. He assumes the viewer has no common sense and overcomplicates the simplest of problems. If gas costs $4.50 a gallon you can obviously buy 175/4.5 gallons with $175. At 20 miles per gallon this will obviously get you 20x(175/4.5) miles. Either simplify that to get the exact answer of 777 7/9 miles or use a calculator for the approximate answer of 777.78 miles, whichever is asked for or permitted.
    After 14 minutes of unnecessary complication he still gets the answer wrong.

    There are 3 kinds of people. Those that can count and those who can't.

      That is why I hire people who can count. What does the third type of people do? Are they dead?

    • @mikewhite735

      That should be:
      There are 2 kinds of people.
      Those that can count,
      Those that can’t count,
      And those that don’t count.
