Answer:

24 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 gallons of gas increased the fill ratio from 1/6 to 1/4, we can find how much of the tank the 2 gallons filled by solving the equation 1/4 - 1/6 = 1/12. This means that each gallon of gas is 1/24th of the tank.

Thus, the tank has a fuel capacity of 24 gallons.

Equation:

distance + distance = 2250 miles

3x + 3(x-110) = 2250

6x - 330 = 2250

6x = 2580

x = 430 mph (rate of the westbound plane)

x-110 = 320 mph (rate of the eastbound plane)

The length of a triangel is three times its with.if the perimiter is at its most 112 centemeters,witch is the greates possible v
iris [78.8K]
I am assuming you do not mean The length of a triangle and you mean The length of a rectangle because the answer you given are the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle. With that said, the answer is D<span>.2w+2*(3w)112

The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by the following equation:

2L + 2W = P
OR 
P = 2L + 2W
The equation </span>P = 2L + 2W is read perimeter = 2 times Length + 2 times width

The Question:
<span>The length of a rectangle is three times its width.if the perimeter is at its most 112 centimeters ,which is the greatest possible value of the the width.
</span>
The length of a rectangle
This means the perimeter 

is
The word is means to use an equal sign

three times its width
This means 3 times w or 3w 
The w = width

perimeter is at its most 112
This means <=
<= means less than or equal to

Ok so lets look at our equation 

2L + 2W = P
2w + 2(3w) <= 112

You pay $2.40 for 3/4 pound of grapes your friend buys a pound of grapes at the same time and estimates that he will pay $1.80 w
LenKa [72]

I would say your friends assumption is wrong. Why?


Because, if you payed $2.40 for 3/4 pounds of grapes, your friend should pay more for an entire pound, not less.


Hope this helped! c:

6,000 multiplied by power of 10
larisa86 [58]
An easy way of finding the answer to your question is by using a scientific calculator. When I plugged in 6,000^10 it gave me 6.0466176x10^37. Yes the answer is in scientific notation, but if you want the answer shortened out to the nearest hundredth place the answer is 6.05.
