The oil spill covers 4 square kilometers in 1/4 of an hour.
Therefore, in 1 hour, it will cover 4 x 4 = 16 square kilometers.
In 2 hours, it will cover 16 x 2 = 32 square kilometers.
So the answer is 32 square kilometers.

To find out the average number of people the town will grow by in 5 years, we can divide the total growth in 2 years by the number of years and then multiply by 5.

Given that the town's population grew by 600 people in the last 2 years:

600 people / 2 years = 300 people per year

To find the average growth over 5 years:

300 people per year * 5 years = 1,500 people

Therefore, the town will grow by an average of 1,500 people in 5 years. So, the correct answer is 1,500 people.

To find out the average number of deer the scientist can expect to find in an area of 300 square miles, we can set up a proportion.

The scientist found 200 deer in 10 square miles. Let's define the unknown number of deer in the 300 square mile area as "x".

We can set up the proportion:

200 deer / 10 square miles = x deer / 300 square miles

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:

10x = 200 * 300

10x = 60,000

x = 60,000 / 10

x = 6,000

Therefore, the scientist can expect to find an average of 6,000 deer in an area of 300 square miles. So, the correct answer is 6,000 deer.

If the baker bakes 3 batches of cookies and makes 42 cookies, we can find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches by setting up a proportion.

The baker made 42 cookies in 3 batches. Let's define the unknown number of cookies in 2 batches as "x".

We can set up the proportion:

42 cookies / 3 batches = x cookies / 2 batches

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:

3x = 42 * 2

3x = 84

x = 84 / 3

x = 28

Therefore, if the baker bakes 2 batches, they will make a total of 28 cookies. So, the correct answer is 28 cookies.

Start Fraction 4 over 90 End Fraction miles per gallon
To calculate the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon, we need to divide the total distance traveled (in miles) by the amount of gasoline used (in gallons).

In this case, the driver drove 90 miles and used 4 gallons of gasoline.

So, the consumption rate in miles per gallon can be calculated as:

90 miles / 4 gallons = 22.5 miles per gallon

Therefore, the correct answer is 22.5 miles per gallon.
1. 32 square kilometers
2. 1,500 people
3. 6,000 deer
4. 28 cookies
5. 22.5 miles per gallon
I apologize for the confusion caused. I made an error in the previous response.

The correct answer to the question, "What is the vehicle's consumption rate in miles per gallon?" is 22.5 miles per gallon, as stated in your response.
The Bot is Correct
