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

(Algebra II) Extra points!!Determine whether y varies directly with x
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

  • k = 1.6
  • y = 1.6x

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variation is proportional dividing the y-value by the x-value will give the same result for all table entries. That quotient is the constant of variation (k).

Here 6.4/4 = 11.2/7 = 16/10 = 20.8/13 = 1.6

The value of y varies directly as x, and the constant of variation is 1.6. The equation is ...

  y = 1.6x

at a golf course, a worker placed 216 golf balls equally into 9 buckets. what is the ratio of golf balls to buckets?
ankoles [38]
The ratio is 216:9, which can be simplified to 72:3, which can be simplified to 34:1. This can also be written as a fraction (34/1). It means there are 34 golf balls for every one bucket.

2.3.3 congruent triangles
NARA [144]

In the congruent triangles both triangle are same . In this triangle 2.3.3 congruent triangle image given below to understand better.

According to the question, given that

2.3.3 congruent triangle under congruence triangle are explain:

Both triangles are said to be congruent if the three angles and three sides of one triangle match the corresponding angles and sides of the other triangle. We can see from the examples PQR and XYZ that PQ = XY, PR = XZ, and QR = YZ, and thus P = X, Q = Y, and R = Z. Then, we can state that XYZ and PQR.

To be congruent, the two triangles must be the same size and shape. It is necessary for both triangles to be superimposed on one another. A triangle appears to be in a different place or have a different look as we rotate, reflect, and/or translate it.

Two triangles must meet five requirements in order to be congruent. The congruence properties are SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and RHS.

SSS Congruence Criteria

Side-Side-Side criterion is referred to as the SSS criterion. According to this standard, two triangles are congruent if their respective triangles' three sides are equal to one another.

The three angles of BAC must be identical to the corresponding angles of XYZ if, according to the SSS condition, BAC XYZ.

SAS Congruence Criteria

Side-Angle-Side criterion is referred to as the SAS criterion. According to this standard, two triangles are said to be congruent if their matching sides and included angles are the same on each side of each other.

The third side (AB) and the other two angles of ABC must be identical to the equivalent side (XY) and the angles of XYZ if ABC XYZ under the SAS condition.

ASA Congruence Criteria

Angle-Side-Angle criterion is also known as ASA criterion. According to the ASA criterion, two triangles are congruent if any two of their included sides and related angles are equivalent in size to those of the other triangle.

AAS Congruence Criteria

Angle-Angle-Side criterion is also known as the AAS criterion. Two triangles are said to be congruent according to the AAS criterion if any two angles and the non-included side of one triangle match the corresponding angles and side of the second triangle.

RHS Congruence Criteria

Right angle-hypotenuse-side congruence is referred to as the RHS criterion. If the hypotenuse and side of one right-angled triangle are equal to the hypotenuse and the corresponding side of another right-angled triangle, then two triangles are said to be congruent according to this criterion.
