Answer:

95 city and 175 highway miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The driver gets 20 mpg in city, and 28 mpg on the highway.

An equation that could be written is

20x+28y=270

This equation accounts for the distance traveled.

x+y=11

This equotion accounts for how many gallons were driven.

Multiply the bottom equation by 20, so you can solve the set of equations.

20x+28y=270

20x+20y=220

subtract them

8y=50

y=6.25

now plug this back into x+y=11

x+6.25=11

x=4.75

Now 4.75×20=95 city miles and 6.25×28=175 highway miles.

What is the quotient?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

● (-3/8) ÷(-1/4)

Flip the second fraction by putting 1 instead 4 and vice versa.

● (-3/8)* (-4/1)

-4 over 1 is -4 since dividing by 1 gives the same number.

● (-3/8)*(-4)

Eliminate the - signs in both fractions since multiplying two negative numbers by each other gives a positive number.

●( 3/8)*4

● (3*4/8)

8 is 2 times 4

● (3*4)/(4*2)

Simplify by eliminating 4 in the fraction.

● 3/2

The result is 3/2

If 1 ft = 1.894 x 10​ -4​miles, convert 20.0 inches to miles
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

3.1567 * 10^-4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ft = 1.894 * 10^-4 miles , so

1 inch = 1.894 * 10^-4 / 12  miles

= 0.15783 * 10^-4

= 1.5783* 10^-5 miles  ( in scientific form).

Multiplying this by 20 we get

31.567 * 10^-5

= 3.1567 * 10^-4 miles.

Determine the next 3 terms after : 1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5
baherus [9]
<h3>Answer:  -6, 7, -8</h3>

Start with the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...}

Then change the sign of every other term so you'll have the first term positive, the second term negative, and so on.

That updates to {1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, -8, ...}

Every odd term (1,3,5,..) is positive while every even term (-2,-4,-6) is negative.
