A family plans a road trip from Fairbanks to Newbury. The distance between the two cities is 240 miles when traveling on the hig

hway. The family decides to take a new route, which they estimate will be 125% of the distance when traveling on the highway. There are approximately 48.28 kilometers in 30 miles. How many kilometers will the family drive on the new route? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Enter the answer in the box.​

Using proportions, it is found that the family will drive 482.8 km on the new route.

<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 family travels a distance of 125% of 240 miles, hence the distance is:

D = 1.25 x 240 = 300 miles.

Since there are are approximately <u>48.28 kilometers in 30 miles</u>, and 300/30 = 10, the distance in kilometers is given by:

D = 48.28 x 10 = 482.8 km.

Write an equation of the line that passes through 9,2 and is parallel to the line y=5/3x+9
Leni [432]

Answer:

Equation: I believe its y=5/3x-13

Step-by-step explanation:

In the "y=5/3x+9" equation, 5/3 is the slope. You then take the slope (5/3) and the points (9,2) and add it to the equation "y+y1=m(x-x1)":

y-y1=m(x-x1)

distribute 5/3: y-2=5/3(x-9)

y-2=5/3x-45/3

y-2=5/3x-15

-add 2 on both sides-

y=5/3x-13

I might be wrong- but its worth a try ;-;

6b 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought. If he returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice, the expre
Julli [10]

The total cost of rice and beans bought by Gabriel is 6b + 4r.

The simplified expression of the final cost is 4b + 3r.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification can be defined as a process of replacing a mathematical expression by the cancellation of common factors, regrouping of terms in the same variable to get the more simple form of the given expression.

Given that

6b + 4r represents the total cost of the rice and beans Gabriel bought.

He returns 2 bags of beans and 1 bag of rice.

This can be written as,

\rm 2b+1r

Then, the total number of bags of rice and beans is given as,

\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)

When we simplify the above equation, we get,

\rm (6b+4r)- (\rm 2b+1r)\\\\6b+4r-2b-1r\\\\4r+3r

Hence we can conclude that the expression for rice and beans after the return is (4b+3r).

PLSS ANSWER MY QUESTION
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) Area of frame: 140cm^2 ; Area of picture: 40cm^2 ; Total Area: 180cm^2.      

2) Area 1 =  48cm^2 ; Area 2 = 12cm^2 ; total area = 60cm^2 [first answer line : 60cm^2]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. So to answer this question, you have to find the inner photo area first (which you will then subtract from the overall rectangle area to get the photo frame area).

To find area, you multiply length x width. For this question, there are not enough measurements given to initially multiply length and width. So, assuming that the photo is centered on the frame and the frame width is consistent along all sides, you find the difference between the overall length (12) and the picture length (5).

12 - 5 = 7

The leftover area (outside of the picture) is 7 cm (half of seven on both sides), so one side can be assumed to be : 3.5 cm

this means that 15 cm - 3.5 cm of both sides lengths (difference between the two lengths given) is the height of the photo, 15 - 3.5(2) = 8

So, the dimensions/measurements of the photo are 5 cm by 8 cm.

This means that the inner photo area is 40 (5 x 8) cm

The area of the frame will be the area of the total rectangle [12 x 15] - the inner photo area [40].  [ (12)(15) - 40 ]

[180 - 40] = 140 cm

(area is measured in squared units, so the area of the frame should be written as 140cm^{2} ; and the area of the photo should be written as 40cm^{2})

The total area is the entire area of the rectangle: (12)(15) = 180. (This should be written as 180cm^2)

--------------------------------------

2) Finding the area of a shape that isn't a simple rectangle is easier if you separate the shape into smaller rectangles. I will separate the two rectangles into 4 x 12 and 2 x 6 [6 cm would be the remaining side length if you remove the length of 4].

{you can separate the shape in multiple ways, so my answer is only one answer to this problem out of other splits.}

as mentioned, the area is length x width.

4 x 12 = 48.

2 x 6 = 12. Once again, you should write area in squared units.

(the area 1 should be written as 48cm^{2} ; the area 2 should be written as 12cm^2)

you can combine the separated areas (add them) to find the total area. 48 + 12 = 60.

(the total area should be written in squared units also, so the total area should be written as: 60cm^2)

The area of the figure is 60cm^2
