First, list all the given information:
*100 miles/week
*25 miles/gallon
*$4/gallon
*weekly expenditure reduced by $5

The easiest approach to use here is the dimensional analysis. Cancel out like units if they appear both in the numerator and denominator side. Solve first the original cost. The solution is as follows:

100 miles/week * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal = $16/week

The reduced cost would be:
16 - 5 = (New average miles/week) * 1 gal/25 miles * $4/gal
New average miles/week = 68.75 miles/week

Answer:

68.75 miles/week

Step-by-step explanation:

Alan drives an average of 100 miles each week.

His car can travel an average of 25 miles per gallon of gasoline.

Gasoline consumption per week =\frac{100}{25}= 4 gallons

Cost of 1 gallon gasoline = $4

So., cost of 4 gallons gasoline = 4*4 = $16

Now, Alan would like to reduce his weekly expenditure on gasoline by $5.

The reduced cost would be:

16 - 5 = \text{(New average miles/week)} \times \frac{1 gal}{25 miles} \times $4/gal

\frac{11\times25}{4} = \text{(New average miles/week)}

68.75= \text{(New average miles/week)}

New average miles/week = 68.75 miles/week

Circle A has center of (2, 8), and a radius of 2 and circle B has a center of (5, 4), and a radius of 10. What steps will help s
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1. Translate circle A using the rule (x − 3, y + 4).

4. Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

All circles are similar figures

step 1

Translate the center of circle A to the center of circle B

we have

A(2,8) -----> B(5,4)

so

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ----> (x+a,y+b)

(2,8) ----> (2+a,8+b)

2+a=5 ----> a=5-2=3

8+b=4 ---> b=4-8=-4

therefore

The rule of the translation is

(x,y) ----> (x+3,y-4)

step 2

Divide the radius of circle B to the radius of circle A to find out the scale factor

10/2=5

so

Multiply the radius of circle A by the scale factor to obtain the radius of circle B

therefore

Dilate circle A by a scale factor of 5

Use 2 unit multipliers to convert 4 square feet to square inches
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

4 square feet is equal 576 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert 4 square feet to square inches

Now, We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

∴ 1^{2} \ feet = 12^2 \ inches\\1\ square\ feet= 144 \ square \ inches\\

Now we need to find  4 square feet

4 \times 1\ square\ feet=  4\times 144 \ square \ inches\\4 \ square\ feet=  576 \ square \ inches
