You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. can travel 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline. An

other car is red. It can travel 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline.
1) What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for the blue car?

2) What is the unit rate for miles per gallon for the red car?

3) Which car could travel the greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline?

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

  • <em>Blue car:</em>

<em>Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline</em>

  • <em>Red car:</em>

<em>Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline</em>

<em />

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

  • Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

  • Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline

Blue car :
(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) =
(71/2) / (5/4) =
71/2 * 4/5 =
142/5 =
28.4 miles per gallon <=== unit rate for blue

red car : 
(27 1/5) / (4/5) =
(136/5) / (4/5) =
136/5 * 5/4 =
136/4 =
34 miles per gallon <=== unit rate for red

so the red car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon

The figure shows part of a freeway interchange. The raised freeway is supported by vertical, parallel pillars. Set up a ratio an
Ugo [173]
We will use ratio and proportion between the inclined sides with its corresponding horizontal bases. Then we could determine for the value of segment AQ.

PA/SB = AQ/BR
32/30 = AQ/24
AQ = 25.6 yd

Since what is asked is segment PQ,
PQ = PA + AQ
PQ = 32 + 25.6
PQ = 57.6 yards

URGENTE, PERGUNTAS DE MARCAR:
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2a: (c)

5o: (1, 3) and (1,1)

3a: (b)

1a: (d)

4o: (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

2a: the equation of a circle circumference needs to be transformable to the form (x-x_C)^2 + (y - y_C)^2 = r^2 where C(x_C; y_C) is the center and <em>r</em> is the radius. (a) and (d) can’t be it because they contain non-zero factors on <em>xy</em>. (b) isn’t an equation.

5o: just put the given (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) into the equations and see if it holds. (2, 3) isn’t on the circumference of (1) because 2^2+3^2-2\cdot 2 -4\cdot 3 + 4 = 1 \neq 0, (3, 1) isn’t on it either because 3^2 + 1^2 - 2\cdot 3 - 4\cdot 1 + 4 = 4 \neq 0.

3a: calculate the value of the left-hand side term of the equation using (<em>x</em>, <em>y</em>) from the given point <em>M</em>. That’s the difference of square distance to the center to the square radius r^2. Thus it’s 0 if the point is on the circumference, negative if inside and positive if outside. You get 3^2 + 4^2 - 6\cdot 3 -2\cdot 4 + 8 = 7, positive, so it’s outside the circle.

1a: see definition from 2a. Here, r^2 = 9.

4o: insert the y from the straight line equation (r) (which can be equivalently transformed to y = x+1) into the circumference equation. If it yields no solution, that’s outside, it there’s exactly one solution, that’s a tangent and if there are two solutions, it’s a secant. x^2+(x+1)^2+2x - 4(x+1) = x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1  + 2x - 4x + 4 = 2x^2 + 5 = 0 \iff x^2 = 2.5 \iff x \in \{-\sqrt{2.5}, \sqrt{2.5}\} There are two solutions, so it’s a secant.
