Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.

Answer:
Juan and Luke each ate 9 grapes
Step-by-step explanation:
24 - 6 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
The problem statement suggests you should convert dimensions to inches to work this problem.
.. 2.75 ft = 33 in
.. 1.5 ft = 18 in
The empty height is
.. 0.6*7 in = 4.2 in
so the empty volume is
.. V = (33 in)*(18 in)*(4.2 in) = 2494.8 in³
Multiplying this by the conversion factor to gallons gives
.. V = (2494.8 in)³ × (1 gal)/(231 in³) = 10.8 gal
It will take 10.8 gallons of gas to fill the tank.
