If needed I could try to answer the 2nd question but I am sure that I got the first one right.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Equation: 8=4b
b=2
Explanation:
The green line equals 8 and the black time equals 2b+2b. So to form an equation where the green line equals the black line it would look like: 8=2b+2b
8 being the green line
2b+2b being the black line
Then the directions tell us to combine like terms, like terms are terms that are the same such as 2b in this problem, and to combine them means to add them together.
So, 2b+2b= 4b
So the answer is, 8= 4b
In order to solve this equation divide both sides by 4.
Which leaves you with: 8/4= b
Now solve 8/4:
Which gives you:
b=2
Answer:
30 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In this context, "per" means "divided by", so to find miles per gallon, divide miles by gallons:
(56 1/4 mi)/(1 7/8 gal) = 30 mi/gal
The vehicle can travel 30 miles per gallon of gas.
_____
My calculator divides mixed numbers directly, as many graphing calculators do. If you're working this out by hand, you can convert to improper fractions, then multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.
(56 1/4)/(1 7/8) = (225/4)/(15/8)
= (225/4)·(8/15) = (225/15)·(8/4)
= 15·2 = 30
