Answer:

Mrs. Allan's Car will use <u>20 gallons</u> of gas for 560 miles trip.

Mrs. Owen's Car will use <u>16 gallons</u> of gas for 560 miles trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of Miles for Mrs Allan car = 224 miles

Number of gallons of gas required = 8

We need to find the number of gallons of gas required for 560 miles for Mrs. Allan's car.

First we will find, in 1 gallons how many miles does Mrs Allan's Car drives.

For 8 gallons = 224 miles

So for 1 gallons = Number of miles in 1 gallon of gas

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of miles in 1 gallon of gas = \frac{224}{8}= 28\ miles

Now we know that;

for 28 miles = 1 gallon of gas is required.

So for 560 miles = Number of gallon of gas required in 560 miles.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of gallon of gas required in 560 miles = \frac{560}{28}= 20\ gallons

Hence Mrs. Allan's Car will use <u>20 gallons</u> of gas for 560 miles trip.

Also Given:

Number of Miles for Mrs Owen's car = 210 miles

Number of gallons of gas required = 6

We need to find the number of gallons of gas required for 560 miles for Mrs. Owen's car.

First we will find, in 1 gallons how many miles does Mrs Owen's Car drives.

For 6 gallons = 210 miles

So for 1 gallons = Number of miles in 1 gallon of gas

By using Unitary method we get;

Number of miles in 1 gallon of gas = \frac{210}{6}= 35\ miles

Now we know that;

for 35 miles = 1 gallon of gas is required.

So for 560 miles = Number of gallon of gas required in 560 miles.

Again by using Unitary method we get;

Number of gallon of gas required in 560 miles = \frac{560}{35}= 16\ gallons

Hence Mrs. Owen's Car will use <u>16 gallons</u> of gas for 560 miles trip.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Let's start with the given arc and its angle.

The angle YWX is going to be half the arc length.

YWX = 1/2 (226) = 113

Angles VWX and YWX form a linear pair (or are supplementary angles), which means that their sum is 180 degrees.

(15x - 8) + 113 = 180

15x + 105 = 180

15x = 75

x = 5

Hope this helps!

There are 475 students and teachers going on a field trip a school bus holds 78 people how many buses are needed for the trip
kap26 [50]
7 is the answer, you have to divide 475 by 78 and you get 6.08974358974359 but you round it up to 7 to make sure you have enough buses

2.5x10^3 I think. Exponents are subtracted. The number you're multipliying by has to be more than one.
