Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Note:
1 gal = 4 quarts
1 pint = 0.5 quart
Re-writing all the choices in dollars and quarts and calculating how much each quart costs
A) $1 per 1 quart
B) $2 per gallon = $2 per 4 quarts = $2 ÷ 4 quarts = $0.50 per quart
C) $1.50 per 2 quarts = $1.50 ÷ 2 quarts = $0.75 per quart
D) $0.50 per 1 pint = $0.50 per 0.5 quart = $0.50 ÷ 0.5 quart = $1 per quart
If you compare all of the above, it is clear that answer B ($0.50 per quart) is the cheapest rate and hence the best deal.
Lucas equation for his location is x(t) = 13t.
Alfonso's equation is x(t) = 238 - 21t
If you equate these, you get:
13t = 238 - 21t =>
34t = 238
t = 7
So after seven hours they meet.
Answer:
Choice B: BD/DA = CE/EA
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope is rise over run. For the two slopes to be equal, the rise over run of the two triangles must be equal.
The rise over run for triangle ABD is BD/DA.
The rise over run of triangle ACE is CE/EA.
For the slopes to be equal, BD/DA = CE/EA
Answer: Choice B.
