A family has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

35 miles per gallon of gas. during one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 1525 miles, for a total gas consumption of 40 gallons. how many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525

Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25

The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.

Starting more simply, if we wanted to know how many students like pink in general, that's 68/100. We could do that for each single category and the fractions would add together to equal 1. Now say we wanted to know something about that 68/100 people. That 68 is our new 100%, or another way of looking at it is if we take however many people like pink and don't like black and those that do like black, they will equal 68/68.

The number of people that like pink but don't like black is 41/68 and those that like pink and black are 27/68. 27+41=68 For the question of your problem it is asking about those that do not like pink which you can tell from the table or use from my saying 68/100 like pink is 32. Now you can split that into those that do or don't like black, and the two results will equal 32/32.

Lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%. A scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish i
natita [175]

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>

<em></em>

<em>A)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f  </em>

<em>B)</em>

<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>

<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>

<em>173,535.692770952 = X  </em>

<em>C)</em>

<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>

<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>

The average reading score on certain tests is given by y = 0.153x + 255.4, where x is the number of years past 1970. In what yea
nirvana33 [79]

Average reading score is given by the expression,

        y = 0.153x + 255.4

Here, x in the number of years past 1970.

To find the year in which the average reading score is 259.378, substitute the value of 'y' in the given expression.

y = 0.153x + 255.4

259.378 = 0.153(x) + 255.4

0.153x = 259.378 - 255.4

0.153x = 3.978

x = \frac{3.978}{0.153}

x = 26

That means given average reading score 259.378 will be 26 years after 1970.

       Therefore, 1996 is the year in which the average reading score will be 259.378.
