It would take .25 gallon (or 1/4 gallon) to drive 9 1/4 mile.
This is equivalent to:
(2.2533/2.59)(10^8/10^4)
(0.87)(10^4) which is:
0.87X10^4 which is equal to:
0.87X10000 which is equal to:
8.7X1000 and since 1000=10^3 we can say:
8.7X10^3
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
= 2 pounds green, 6 pounds red
1/4 of 8 is 2 (8 divided by 4)
So he bought 2 pounds of greens apples.
8-2= 6. He bought 6 pounds of red apples.
