Mpg = 476/14 = 34 mpg

d = 578 miles = (34 mpg)(x gallons)

578 = 34x

x = 578/34 = 17 gallons

A rectangular carpet has a perimeter of 244 inches. The length of the carpet is 90 inches more than the width. Determine the dim

RSB [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = 244 inches

Let Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = w+90

We need to find the dimensions (length and width) of the carpet

The formula used will be: $Perimeter=2(length+width)$

Putting values and making equation:

$244=2w+2(w+90)\\Solving:\\244=2w+2w+180\\244=4w+180\\Switching\:sides\\4w+180=244\\Subtracting\:180\:from\:both\:sides\\4w=244-180\\4w=64\\Dividing\:both\:sides\:by\:4\\\frac{4w}{4} =\frac{64}{4}\\w=16$

So, we get w = 16

The width w = 16 inches

Now, finding length = w+ 90 = 16+90 = 106 inches

Therefore the dimensions of rectangle are:

Width = 16 inches

Length = 106 inches

A box has a volume of 22 1/2 in³. Find the length of the box!

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Length = 2.823 in (to 3 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that the box is a cubic box:

volume of box = $22\frac{1}{2}$ in³ = 22.5 in³

volume = Length × Length × Length = (Length)³

∴ (Length)³ = 22.5

∴ Length = ∛(22.5)

using the calculator punch ∛(22.5), and the answer is:

∴ Length = 2.823 in (to 3 decimal places)

a machinist can produce 114 parts in 6 minutes. at this rate, how many parts can the machinist produce in 15 minutes

Lynna [10]

Answer:

285!

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find out how may parts are produced in a single minute.

We know that 114 parts are produced in 6 minutes so to find how may parts are made in one minute divide 114 by 6 and get an answer of 19

114÷6=19

Now to find how may parts are produced in 15 minutes multiply 19 (number of parts produdced in one minute) by 15 and get an answer of 285!

19×15=285

Hope this helped! :)

For the given equation find the value a, b, and c, determine the direction in which the parabola opens and determine the y-inter

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: Table A

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x^2 is 1, the coefficient of x is -6, and the constant is 0. This means that a = 1, b = -6, and c = 0.

This eliminates tables B and C.

Now, we need to determine if the graph opens up or down to differentiate between A and B. Since the coefficient of x^2 is positive, the graph opens up.

Thus the answer is <u>Table A.</u>
