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

Two sides of an acute triangle meaure 5 inches and 8 inches. The length of the longest side is unknown. What is the greatest pos
gladu [14]

The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.

<h3>How to identify if a triangle is acute?</h3>

Let us have:

H = biggest side of the triangle

And let we get  A and B as rest of the two sides.

Then we get:

If

A^2 + B^2 < C^2

then the triangle is acute

Two sides of an acute triangle measure as 5 inches and 8 inches

The length of the longest side is unknown.

We have to find the length of the unknown side

WE know that the longest side of any triangle is a hypotenuse

For an acute triangle we know:

A^2 + B^2 < C^2

Here in this sum,

a = 5 inches

b = 8 inches

c = ?

Substituting we get,

A^2 + B^2 < C^2\\\\5^2 + 8^2 < C^2\\\\25 + 64= C^2

c < 9

Hence, The greatest whole possible whole number length of the unknown side is 9 inches.

If y varies directly as x and y = 144 when x = 12, what is the value of y when x = 17?
olasank [31]
Direct variation:
y=kx

y=144 when x=12.
144=12k \\ k=\frac{144}{12} \\ k=12

y=? when x=17.
y=12 \times 17 \\&#10;y=204

y=204 when x=17.

572000 square miles rounded ro the nearest hundred thousand
baherus [9]

It would be rounding it to 600000 because 600000 is the closest 100000x amount where x is an integer. I hope this helped and if I am right could I have brainliest? :)
