Rafael Drive 405 miles using 20 gallons of gas. At that rate, how many gallons of gas would he need to drive 243 miles?

1 answer:

3 0

This is how I'd set it up:
405/20 = 243/x
this means the mpg (miles / gallons) for 1 situation is the same as the mpg for the other situation (because the rate is the same)
then just cross multiply and solve:
405x=243*20 or 405x=4860 or x = 12
he would need 12 gallons of gas for 243 miles

Hello,

Slope= (0-5)/(0-1)=-5/(-1)=5

Equation is

y-5=5(x-1)
or

A wire that is 22 feet long connects the top of a pole to the ground. The wire is attached to the ground at a point that is 10 f

Ksju [112]

Answer:

19.6ft (nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached photo for better understanding.

Given Length of Wire = BC = 22ft

Given Distance from Grounded Wire to Base of Pole = AC = 10ft

Length of Pole = AB

We can use Pythagoras' Theorem to find Length of Pole, AB.

By Pythagoras' Theorem,

$c^{2} =a^{2} +b^{2} \\BC^{2} =AB^{2} + AC^{2} \\22^{2} =AB^{2} +10^{2} \\484=AB^{2} +100\\AB^{2} =484-100\\AB=\sqrt{384} ft\\=19.6ft (nearest tenth)$
