Answer: 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
6 gallons in 4 1/2 seconds to travel 1/4 mile
Multiply through by 4
-------
The dragster will :
use 24 gallons in 18 seconds to travel 1 mile.
5353 minutes = 89.22 hours
Maybe the figures should be 53 and 20??
Let's let Billy = A
The formula to use for work problems is
Time = (A*B) / (A+B)
53 = ( (A +20)* A) / (A +20 + A) )
53 = ( A^2 + 20A ) / (2A + 20)
A^2 + 20A -106A -1060
A^2 -86A -1060
A = 96.935

Answer:;4.4
Step-by-step explanation: Since it varies inversely we know G times H squared is equal to some constant, k. So we have G*H*H=k. We are told that when H=4, G=.25. Plugging this in, we have .25*4*4=k. This simplifies to 4=k. Our new equation is G*H*H=4. Now, we want to solve for G when H=.3. We plug it in. G*.3*.3=4 => G*.09=4. G=4/.09. This means G is approximately 44.4.
