Using proportions, considering the cost of the taxi per mile, it is found that Gary traveled 9.375 miles, not including the first.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, the company charges 2.95 for the first mile and $0.3 per each 1/8 mile next = $2.4 per mile. After the first mile, he was charged a total of $25.45 - $2.95 = $22.5. Hence the number of miles is given by:

22.5/2.4 = 9.375.

A boat travelled 336 km downstream with the current. The trip downstream took 12 hours.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

We know the distance (d) equation in terms of rate (r) and time (t) as:

d=rt

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given d=336 km and t= 12 hours, so we have: 336 km = 12t <-- this is our equation.

Divide each side by 12 to solve for t:

12t/12=336/12

t= 28 km/ hour

Compare 4.6, 2.8..., square root 17, 3.9..., square root 8
Basile [38]
1. Square root 17= 289, Square root 8= 64.
289 = 289.00 \:  \: 64 = 64.00
4.6 > 2.8
289.00 > 64.00
289.00 > 4.6
4.6 > 3.9
2.8 < 3.9
Least to greatest:
2.8, 3.9, 4.6, 64.00, 289.00

the area of a parallelogram shape land is on the square and length of its two adjacent sides are 25 m and 17 M find its diagonal
Alex787 [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw diagonal AC

The triangle ABC has sides 17 and 25

Say AB is 17, BC is 25

Draw altitude on side BC from A , say h

h = 17 sin B

Area = 25*17 sin B = 408

sin B = 24/25

In ∆ ABC

Cos B = +- 7/25

= 625 + 289 — b^2 / 2*25*17

b^2 = 914 — 14*17 = 676

b = 26

h = 17*24/25 = 408/25 = 16.32

Draw the second diagonal BD

In ∆ BCD, draw altitude from D, say DE =h

BD^2 = h^2 + {(25 + sqrt (289 -h^2) }^2

BD^2 = 16.32^2 + (25 + 4.76)^2

= 885.6576 + 266.3424

BD = √ 1152 = 33.94 m
