A family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 40 gallons of gas and the second consumed 15 gallons of gas. The two cars drove a combined total of 1575 miles, and the sum of their fuel efficiencies was 55 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiencies of each of the cars that week?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Fuel efficiency of first car = 30 miles/gallon

Fuel efficiency of second car = 25 miles/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fuel consumed by first car = 40 gallons

Fuel consumed by second car = 15 gallons

Total distance drove by the two cars combined = 1575 miles

Sum of their fuel efficiencies = 55 miles/gallon

To find:

The fuel efficiencies of each of the cars = ?

Solution:

Fuel efficiency of a car is defined as the ratio of distance traveled in miles to the number of gallons used by the car.

Let the distance traveled by first car = [tex]x[/tex] miles

So, the distance traveled by other car = (1575 - [tex]x[/tex]) miles

Fuel efficiency of first car = [tex]\frac{x}{40}[/tex] miles/gallon

Fuel efficiency of second car = [tex]\frac{1575-x}{15}[/tex] miles/gallon

As per given question statement:

[tex]\frac{x}{40}+\frac{1575-x}{15}=55\\\Rightarrow 15x+1575\times 40-40x=55\times 40 \times 15\\\Rightarrow 25x=30000\\\Rightarrow x =1200\ miles[/tex]

Distance traveled by first car = 1200 miles

Fuel used by first car = 40 gallons

So, fuel efficiency of first car = [tex]\frac{1200}{40} = \bold{30\ miles/gallon}[/tex]

Distance traveled by second car = 1575 - 1200 = 375 miles

Fuel used by second car = 15 gallons

So, fuel efficiency of second car = [tex]\frac{375}{15} = \bold{25\ miles/gallon}[/tex]

X is 30 degrees because the other triangle is an equilateral which every angle is 60 degrees. And the angle on A is 60 degrees. So the angle next to it to the left has to make up of 180 degrees. So that one would be 120 degrees. So the other two angles would have to be 30 each.

Leslie is a biologist. She is going to randomly select one animal from her lab to study. There are 555 salamanders, 333 crayfish, and 121212 minnows in her lab. What is \text{P(salamander})P(salamander)start text, P, left parenthesis, s, a, l, a, m, a, n, d, e, r, end text, right parenthesis?

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

amount of  salamanders, = 5

amount of crayfish = 3

amount of minnows = 12

Total fish = Total outcome = 5+3+12

Total outcome = 20

Since we are looking for the probability of selecting  salamanders, our expected outcome will be 5.

Probability = expected outcome/total outcome

Pr( salamanders,) = 5/20

Pr( salamanders) = 1/4

Hence the probability of selecting  salamanders, is 1/4

Andrea bought tacos from a food truck and left 25% tip of $2.00. What was the price of Andreas tacos, before tip?

Answers

Answer:

If 2.00$ is 25% multiply by 4 which would give you the original price of 8$, plus tip that’s 10$. However the answer is, Andreas tacos, before tip, were 8$.

Answer:

$8

Step-by-step explanation:

25% is .25, also known as 1/4. So if you think of it that way, $2 is 1/4 of the entire payment that was added to it. 2*4 is 8, so the price of the tacos was $8 before any tip was added. Andrea paid $10 in total if you include the tip.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If point A is between P and R, then;

PA+AR = PR

Given

PA=3x-4,

PR=21 meters,

AR=7 meters

Substitute

3x-4 +7 = 21

3x = 21-3

3x =18

x =18/3

You are owing him $7 so it's a negative and you give him $2 which is a negative as well since you are giving it to him. So, to answer how much do you still owe, you would add $2  to the $7 you owed, so now, you owe him $5, which is a negative since you OWE him.

74. Seven workers are hired to seed a field by hand. Each is given a plot 7 x 7
feet in size. What is the total area of the field?

Answers

Answer:

The total area of the field is 343 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ There are 7 workers hired to seed a field by hand

∵ Each is given a plot 7 x 7  feet in size

→ The plot has shaped a square because its two dimensions equal

The side of the plot = 7 feet

∵ The area of the square = side × side

∴ The area of each plot = 7 × 7

The area of each plot = 49 square feet

→ To find the total area multiply the area of 1 plot by the number

   of the workers

∵ The total area = 49 × 7

∴ The total area = 343 square feet

The total area of the field is 343 square feet

THIS WAS DUE YESTERDAY, with a lot of other confusing problems! Please help!

Answer:

The answer is 2 songs and the solution is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make an equation for each club. The 1st choice music club equation is 5+1x and the Music Club equation is 3.50x.

2. Go down the number line starting with 1 and replace x with that number and solve the equation until you get the same number on each side with the same replacement number.

3. So, 5+1x becomes 5+1(2) and that would equal 7. Then do 3.50x becomes 3.50(2) and that would also equals 7.

Note: When a number has a number next to it in parentheses then that means to have to multiply first. If you don't then you will get the wrong answer.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<3 = 55° ( vertically opposite angles )

<4 = 180 - 105 = 75° ( linear pair )

<5 = 180 - ( 55 + 75 ) ( angle sum property of a triangle )

    = 180 - 130

    = 50°

<1 = <2 ( angles opposite to equal sides )

let < 1 and < 2 be x

55 + 2x = 180 ( angle sum property of a triangle )

2x = 180 - 55

2x = 125

x = 125 / 2

x = 62.5

therefore, < 1 = <2 = 62.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of x into the first equation. This gives you the value of y.

y = 8x -4x = 4

After substitution, we have ...

  y = 8(4) -4

  y = 28

Then the point is (x, y) = (4, 28).

4. Tres albañiles trabajaron en una construcción. Francisco trabajó el doble de horas que Eduardo y Eduardo trabajó el cuádruple de horas de las que trabajó Hugo. Entre los tres hermanos trabajaron 104 horas ¿Cuántas horas trabajó cada uno? Planteamiento algebraico: Procedimiento:

Answers

Answer:

La cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo son 8, mientras que Eduardo trabajó 32 horas y Francisco 64 horas.

Step-by-step explanation:

En primer lugar, para determinar la ecuación que debes resolver, es conveniente establecer la variable a la que debes encontrar una solución en la ecuación. Entonces, llamas x a la cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo.

Luego, sabes que Eduardo trabajó el cuádruple de horas de las que trabajó Hugo, esto es, cuatro veces más de las horas trabajadas por Hugo. Esto se expresa matemáticamente como 4*x.

Finalmente, Francisco trabajó el doble de horas que Eduardo, que se calcula multiplicando a las horas trabajadas por Eduardo por 2: 2*4*x= 8*x

Entre los tres hermanos trabajaron 104 horas. Esto indica que la suma de las horas trabajadas por Francisco, Eduardo y Hugo debe ser 104 horas. Esto se expresa matemáticamente como:

x + 4*x+ 8*x= 104 (Planteamiento algebraico)

Resolviendo (Procedimiento):

13*x=104

[tex]x=\frac{104}{13}[/tex]

x=8

Esto significa que la cantidad de horas que trabajó Hugo son 8.

Eduardo trabajó 4*x, esto es 4*8, que da como resultado 32 horas. Entonces Eduardo trabajó 32 horas.

Por último, Francisco trabajó 8*x. Siendo x=8, entonces 8*8=64. Entonces Francisco trabajó 64 horas.

Hugo trabajó 8 horas, Eduardo trabajó 32 horas y Francisco trabajó 64 horas.

Dado que tres albañiles trabajaron en una construcción, y Francisco trabajó el doble de horas que Eduardo y Eduardo trabajó el cuádruple de horas de las que trabajó Hugo, y entre los tres hermanos trabajaron 104 horas, para determinar cuántas horas trabajó cada uno se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

E + F + H = 104F = 2EE = 4HF = 8HH + 4H + 8H = 10413H = 104H = 104 / 13H = 8

Así, Hugo trabajó 8 horas, Eduardo trabajó 32 horas y Francisco trabajó 64 horas.
