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.

Gillian earned $42.75 total. On Saturday (2.2 hours * 7.50 per hour) she earned $16.50. On Sunday (3.5 hours * 7.50 per hour) she earned $26.25. $26.25 + $16.50 = $42.75.

Find the percent of decrease if 110 is decreased to 88 A) 125% B)80% C)20%
stich3 [128]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We have 110 minus a certain percent of 110 equals 88. Let's call this percent p and solve.

110-110p=88

We subtract 110 from both sides.

-110p=-22

We divide both sides by 110.

p=0.2

Therefore, the percent decrease is C) 20%.

Have a wonderful day! :D

In Exercises 3–10, use the Chain Rule to calculate the partial derivatives. Express the answer in terms of the independent varia
sashaice [31]

I'll use subscript notation for brevity, i.e.

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=f_x

3.

f(x,y,z)=xy+z^2\implies\begin{cases}f_x=y\\f_y=x\\f_z=2z\end{cases}

x(r,s)=s^2\implies\begin{cases}x_r=0\\x_s=2s\end{cases}

y(r,s)=2rs\implies\begin{cases}y_r=2s\\y_s=2r\end{cases}

z(r,s)=r^2\implies\begin{cases}z_r=2r\\z_s=0\end{cases}

By the chain rule,

f_r=f_xx_r+f_yy_r+f_zz_r=2xs+4zr=2s^3+4r^3

f_s=f_xx_s+f_yy_s+f_zz_s=2ys+2xr=6rs^2

4.

x(r,s,t)=r+s-2t\implies\begin{cases}x_r=1\\x_s=1\\x_t=-2\end{cases}

y(r,s,t)=3rt\implies\begin{cases}y_r=3t\\y_s=0\\y_t=3r\end{cases}

z(r,s,t)=s^2\implies\begin{cases}z_r=0\\z_s=2s\\z_t=0\end{cases}

By the chain rule,

f_r=f_xx_r+f_yy_r+f_zz_r=y+3xt=3rt+3r+3s-6t^2

f_s=f_xx_s+f_yy_s+f_zz_s=y+4zs=3rt+4s^3

f_t=f_xx_t+f_yy_t+f_zz_t=-2y+3xr=3r+3s-12rt

To charter a fishing boat for 3 hours the captain charges a base fee of 45.00 plus 15.00 per person using variables construct a
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$90.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c = 45.00--- base fee

m = 15.00 --- rate

x = 3 --- individuals

Required

Determine the total amount paid (y)

The relationship between the variables is:

Total = Base\ Fee + Rate * Individuals

y = c + mx

This gives:

y = 45.00 + 15.00 * 3

y = 45.00 + 45.00

y = 90.00

<em>Hence, the amount is $90.00</em>
