Answer:
Mr Smith gets a new job, every 5 months on the average.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mr Smith spends an average of 3 months on every job he gets.
Then he spends an average of 2 months in between jobs.
Meaning, on the average, if he has a job, he does it for 3 months, then leaves, lends the next 2 months without a job, then gets another job at the end of the 2 months without a job and then he repeats the cycle of 3 months on the job, 2 months without the job.
So, on the average it takes Mr. Smith, (3+2) months to get a new job.

Step-by-step explanation:
a. Marisa drives 112 miles in 1 hour and 45 minutes, which means her speed is 64 miles per hour.
Speed = Distance / Time
= 112 / 1 45/60
= 112 / 1 3/4
= 112 × 4/7
= 64 miles per hour.
TRUE
b . If 6 pens cost $7.74, then 7 pens cost $9.03.
Cost of one pen = $7.74/6 = $1.29
Cost of 7 pens = $1.29 × 7 = $9.03
TRUE
c. If Raymond drives at a speed of 57 miles per hour, then it takes him 4 hours and 10 minutes to drive 256.5 miles.
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 256.5 / 57 = 4.5 = 4 hours 30 minutes
FALSE
d. If 17 identical cans of soup cost $38.59, then 3 of the cans must cost $6.81.
Cost of one can = $38.59 / 17 = $2.27
Cost of 3 cans = $2.27 × 3 = $6.81
TRUE
e. Mr. Mayes buys two dozen eggs for $8.40, which means that he pays 70 cents per egg.
A dozen = 12
2 dozens = 12 × 2 = 24
Cost of one egg = $8.40 / 24 = 0.35 = 35 cents
FALSE
Let's assume
the price of each train ticket is x
we are given
total number of family members =5
so, total cost of ticket = total number of family members*the price of each ticket
so, total cost of ticket =5*x
so, total cost of ticket =5x
now, we have
each family member buys a boxed lunch for $6.50
so, total cost of lunch box = total number of family members*price of each lunch box
so, total cost of lunch box = 5*6.50
total cost of trip = total cost of ticket+total cost of lunch box
we are given
total cost of trip is $248.50
now, we can plug values
and we get
now, we can solve for x
so,
the price of each train ticket is $43.2..........Answer
