Answer: 19.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, we have to use proportions:

Nathaniel buys 28 gallons of gas for $56, so the proportion is:

$56 / 28 gallons.

For $39:

$39 / x gallons

Solving for x (number of gallons)

56/28 = 39/x

x = 39 / (56/28)

x = 19.5 gallons

jenna has a piece of paper that is 84 square inches in area. it is 10 1/2 inches long. what is the length of the piece of paper

skad [1K]

Here is the solution based on the given problem above.
Given: Area of the piece of paper = 84 square inches
Width = 10 1/2 or 10.5 inches long
? = length of the piece of paper
To find the area of an object, the formula would be A= L x W
Now, let's substitute the given values above
84in2 = L(10.5in)
Now, divide both sides with 10.5 and we get 8.
L = 8 inches.
Therefore, the length of the paper is 8 inches.
Hope this solution helps.

At Burger King the

geniusboy [140]

Not sure if this is very clear
Patty = 45.8%
Bun = 20.8%
Cheese = 8.3%
Sauce = 12.5%
Pickles = 4.2%
Veggies = 8.3%

EXPLANATION :

The equation to find a percentage is part(the broken down calories) over whole ( the total calories) is equal to % which we replace with x (since we’re trying to find the %) over 100 because all percents are out of 100. So for simple terms, p/w = %/100.
What I did was put 550/1200 = x/100, cross multiply, leaving you with 1200x=55000, then divide 55000/1200, giving you 45.8.
