Answer:

Vehicle can travel 13/15 = 0.87 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Direct ratio as increase of fuel increases mileage

gallons                                   miles

15                                             13

1                                                x

applying cross product

x*15=13*1

x= 13/15 miles or 0.87 miles

1. Start by identifying what the question wants so we are looking for miles per 1 gallon.
2. Set up a statement. When the word “per” is being used it relates to a fraction or a ratio. In this question we need to find how many miles a single gallon will give us. So set it up as miles/gallons
3. Plug in your numbers. Now our statement is 13 miles/15 gallons
4. Calculate. So do 13/15 which equals 0.86 miles per 1 gallon.
Tip: always add in words into your calculations. Mainly the units you are using so you can quickly look and know what the units will be. This will help you in upper placement math as well

What is the distance of the two endpoints (3, 5) and (-6, -6)?
Jet001 [13]

Distance = sqrt(5- -6)^2 + (3- -6)^2)

= sqrt (121 + 81)

= sqrt 202

= 14.21 to nearest hundredth

Solve for the value of x<br> A) 12<br> B) 42<br> C) -12<br> D) -42
pentagon [3]
The angles of a triangle will always add up to be 180 degrees total.

x + 82 + x + 82 + 40 = 180
2x + 164 + 40 = 180
2x + 204 = 180
Subtract 204 from both sides.
Think of it as “180 + (-204)”
2x = -24
Divide each side by 2.
x = -12

Answer: x = -12

A clerk has 4 different letters that need to go in 4 different envelopes. What is the probability that all 4 letters are placed
Burka [1]

1/4 * 1/3 * 1/2 * 1/1 = 1/24 chance that all 4 letters are placed in the correct envelopes.

With the first envelope, there are 4 choices of letters, so the probability of picking the correct letter is 1/4.

With the second envelope, there are 3 remaining letters, so the probability of picking the correct letter is 1/3.

The same logic follows the the third and final letter.
