Answer:  The required value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following equation for the value of x :

3:12=x:16~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

a:b=\dfrac{a}{b}.

So, from equation (i), we get

3:12=x:16\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{x}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{x}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Aunt's distance = 120 miles

Miles per gallon of Olivia's car = 24 miles per gallon

Cost of gasoline = 3 per gallon

Cost of gasoline for the trip :

(Aunt's distance / miles per gallon) * cost of gasoline per gallon

(120 miles / 24 miles per gallon) * 3

5 * 3 = $15

Cost of gasoline for the trip = $15
