Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
I think you add the numbers together, and then divide by three
226.981 I think Because you have to multiply 6.1*6.1*6.1
