Large truck has 150 gallons of gasoline that is 2/3 full. How many gallons of gas will it take to fill the tank to it's capacity

1 answer:

4 0

2/3 of the entire tank = 150 gallons

2/3x = 150
x = 150 / (2/3)
x = 150 * 3/2
x = 450/2
x = 225 <== the entire tank can hold 225 gallons

What is the length of the side labeled x cm?

UkoKoshka [18]

When we know 2 angles and one side, we use the Law of Sines.
First we need to find that third angle.
Angle A =
180 -41 -62 = 77 degrees

The Law of Sines states that

side a / Sine (A) = side x / Sine (X)
14 / Sine (77) = side x / Sine (41)

14 * Sine (41) / Sine (77) = side x

side x = 14 * 0.65606 / 0.97437
side x = 9.18484 / 0.97437

 side x = 9.4264396482

Jordan needs one can of juice to make 24 servings of a punch. How many servings of punch can she make with 1/2 a can of juice?

kati45 [8]

Compare the two sets of numbers with a ratio. 1 can for 24 servings is to 1/2 can for x servings.

x= # servings from 1/2 can

1/24= (1/2)/x
cross multiply

1 * x= 24 * 1/2

x= 24/2

x= 12 servings

ANSWER: She can make 12 servings from 1/2 can of juice.

Hope this helps! :)
