Becca needs approximately 5 bottles of engine oil to completely fill her car engine.

<h3>How to determine the number of bottles of engine oil?</h3>

Since Becca's car engine has a capacity of 3.6 quarts and contains 1.2 quarts of engine oil, the remaining space left in her car engine is given by:

Space = 3.6 - 1.2

Space = 2.4 quarts.

By applying direct proportion, we have:

1 bottle = 0.5 quart.

x bottles = 2.4 quarts.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

0.5x = 2.4

x = 2.4/0.5

x = 4.8 ≈ 5 bottles.

Is (1, 2) a solution to the inequality 6x - y> 3?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer we will put it into the equation, since x = 1 and y = 2 we will write it like this, 6(1) - 2 > 3. Since 6 x 1 = 6, we will now subtract 6 from 2 which equals 4. Therefore, the equation is correct because 4 is bigger than 3.

In how many ways you can form a combination of 3 numbers and 3 letters in a plate number if repetition is allowed

Lapatulllka [165]

Your plate numbers will be like

$xxxyyy$

where each $x$ is a number, and each $y$ is a letter. Assuming you can use all numbers and letters, you have 10 possible choices for every $x$ place (all the digits from 0 to 10) and 26 possible choices for every $y$ place (all the letters from a to z).
