Answer: 348.8 miles on 16 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the following proportion:

$\frac{21.8 miles}{1 gallon}$ = $\frac{x miles}{16 gallons}$

Since the car consumes gas at the same rate and only the amount of gas is changed, these two fractions must be equivalent. If the rate at which the car consumes gas changes, it would be different.

Use basic algebraic skills and you should get 348.8 miles.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than known as inequality.

We have:

Points A, B, and C, form a triangle. The distance between point A and point B is 15 yards. The distance between point B and point C is 25 yards.

Total distance if Pete walks from A to B to C:

= 15 + 25 = 40 yards

As we know in the triangle the sum of the two sides is greater than the third side.

25 + 15 > AC

The direct distance from A to C is more than 10(25-15) yards.

The inequality w < 30 represents the distance, w, that Pete might save by taking the direct path.

Thus, the total distance if Pete walks from A to B to C is 40 yards, the direct distance from A to C is more than 10 yards, and an inequality w < 30

In the statement, “Weight is a function of height,” which variable is the input and which is the output?

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

A. Height is input, Weight is output

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

"Weight is a function of height".

As we know,

<em>In a function of the form $y=f(x)$ , the input variable is 'x' and the output variable is 'y'.</em>

If we write the given statement in the form $y=f(x)$ , we get,

$Weight=f(Height)$

This means that the input variable is 'Height' and the output variable is 'Weight'.

Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:

Maximum number of people is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

With a total of $160 you have to pay for the bus and all the people. The bus cost $90 so you subtract that from the 160 because you bought (or rented) the bus. Then you have $70 left to pay for everyone's tickets. If each ticket is $2 then you can buy 35 tickets in total because 70 divided by 2 = 35.
