This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles
Answer:
2/9 is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the spinner is numbered 2, 4 and 5
The general formula for probability :
P(A) = n(A) / n(S)
n(S) is the number of whole states occur in two spins which is 3 × 3 = 9
n(A) is the event that Rico will get a product of 20.
n(A) = 2 ∵ 4 × 5 and 5 × 4 will bring the product 20.
Therefor, the probability that Rico will get a product of 20 when Rico spins the spinner twice will be:
P(A) = n(A) / n(S)
= 2/9
Therefore, 2/9 is the correct option.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines mean the distance away from 0. When i say lines, I mean the two "l" that accompany the numbers. I forgot what there called (good job me).
Since we want to know how far apart they are, we need to add them.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = original number of adult tickets
c = original number of child tickets
a/c = 2/5
a = 2c/5
(a+70)/(c+300) = 1/3
(2c/5 + 70)/(c + 300) = 1/3
2c/5 + 70 = (c + 300)/3
2c + 350 = 5(c + 300)/3
6c + 1050 = 5(c + 300) = 5c + 1500
c = 450
a = 2c/5 = 2×450/5 = 2×90 = 180
Joshua sold therefore in total
180 + 70 = 250 adult tickets.
and by the way
450 + 300 = 750 child tickets.
