Answer: a. 126.20 gallons.

b. 2740 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use unitary method in this question.

a) ∵ 310 miles can be covered by a car with the help of 15.5 gallons of gasoline

∴ 1 mile can be covered = $\frac{15.5}{310}$ gallons

∴2524 miles can be covered = $\frac{15.5}{310}(2524) gallons$

= 126.20 gallons

b). ∵ With 15.5 gallons of gasoline car can be driven = 310 miles

∴ With 1 gallon of gasoline car can go = 310/15.5 miles

∴ With 137 gallons can can go = (310×137)/15.5 miles

= 2740 miles.

This monitor has a diagonal length of 19 inches and an aspect ratio of 5:4. What are the width and height of the monitor? Round

<em>Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The aspect ratio is defined as:

<em>"The proportional relationship between the width and height of an image"</em>

It is usually expressed in a mathematical language as:

$x:y \\ \\ x: \ Width \\ \\ y: \ Height$

So, it is true that:

$x:y=5:4 \\ \\ or: \\ \\ \frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4} \\ \\ \therefore x=\frac{5y}{4}$

In this case, we know that the monitor has a diagonal length (D):

$D=19in$

So, by Pythagorean theorem:

$D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4}$

$D^2=361 \\ \\ 361=x^2+y^2 \\ \\ Since \ x=\frac{5y}{4} \\ \\ 361=\left(\frac{5y}{4}\right)^2+y^2 \\ \\ 361=\frac{25y^2}{16}+y^2 \\ \\ \frac{41}{16}y^2=361 \\ \\ y^2=\frac{261\times 16}{41} \\ \\ y=\sqrt{140.87} \\ \\ y=11.869in$

Finding x:

$x=\frac{5(11.869)}{4} \\ \\ x=14.836in$

<em>Finally, rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch the Witdth of the monitor is 14.8 inches while the Height of the monitor is 11.9 inches.</em>
