Answer:
scalene!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
c is the answer because negative numbers have to go first
To solve this, first we calculate all the total cost of
the items that is:
total cost = $14.96 + $19.87 + $5.37
total cost = $40.20
So we see that the actual cost is similar with the
estimate so his calculation is reasonable.
Answer:
a. 8 gallons
b. (11-0.75t) gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Here in this question, we are told that the total amount of fuel in the fuel tank is 11 gallons and the car consumes 0.75 gallon per hour. We are interested in knowing the amount of fuel left in the tank after driving for four hours.
We proceed as follows;
Since 0.75 gallon is consumed in an hour, the amount of fuel consumed in 4 hours would be the amount consumed in an hour * 4 hours
Mathematically, that would be 0.75 * 4 = 3 gallon
Now, the amount of fuel left is simply the difference between the initial amount of fuel in the tank minus the amount of fuel present after 4 hours.
That would be; 11 - 3 = 8 gallons
b. Like above, we want to know the amount of fuel left after t hours.
Since 0.75 is used up per hour, the amount used up in t hours would be 0.75 * t = 0.75t
Now, the amount of fuel that would be left in the tank would be the difference between what we had initially and what was used up.
Mathematically, that would be 11- 0.75t
