Alyssa wants to know the gas mileage of her new car. She kept track of the number of miles she traveled and the number of gallon

s she used. Which method and reasoning can Alyssa use to calculate the gas mileage in miles per gallon?
Miles Traveled : 243.8
Gallons Used : 7.71

A. 243.8 miles × 7.71 gallons
because multiplying a quantity with units of miles by a quantity with units of gallons gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

B. 243.8 miles - 7.71 gallons
because subtracting a quantity with units of gallons from a quantity with units of miles gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

C. 7.71 gallons ÷ 243.8 miles
because dividing a quantity with units of gallons by a quantity with units of miles gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

D. 243.8 miles ÷ 7.71 gallons
because dividing a quantity with units of miles by a quantity with units of gallons gives a quantity with units of miles per gallon.

Answer:

D


Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alyssa wants to know her gas mileage, which is MILES PER GALLON, she will need to divide total miles by total gallons.

"per gallon" means per 1 unit of gallon, which we will get ONLY IF WE DIVIDE by TOTAL NUMBER OF GALLONS, hence we get "per unit of gallon".

<u>So we need to divide 243.8 miles by 7.71 gallons to get Alyssa's gas mileage.</u>

Answer choice D is right.

Given △ABC. m∠A&gt;m∠B&gt;m∠C. Perimeter=30. Which side of △ABC may have length 7?
lisabon 2012 [21]

<u>Solution-</u>

As given in △ABC,

m\angle A>m\angle B>m\angle C

As from the properties of trigonometry we know that, the greater the angle is, the greater is the value of its sine. i.e

\sin A>\sin B>\sin C

According to the sine law,

\frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=\frac{c}{\sin C}

In order to make the ratio same, even though m∠A>m∠B>m∠C, a must be greater than b and b must be greater than c.

\Rightarrow a>b>c

Also given that its perimeter is 30. Now we have to find out whose side length is 7. So we have 3 cases.

Case-1. Length of a is 7

As a must be the greatest, so b and c must be less than 7. Which leads to a condition where its perimeter won't be 30. As no 3 numbers less than 7 can add up to 30.

Case-2. Length of b is 7

As b is greater than c, so c must 6 or less than 6. But in this case the formation of triangle is impossible. Because the triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side. If b is 7 and c is 6, then a must be 17. So no 2 numbers below 7 can add up to 17.

Case-3. Length of c is 7

As this is the last case, this must be true.

Therefore, by taking the aid of process of elimination, we can deduce that side c may have length 7.

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 250π ft
liraira [26]

Answer:

79.617...

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are trying to find the circumfrence you do c=πd

So to find the diameter you reverse it

Since you already know the 250 feet you divide it by π

You then get 79.6
