The combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 m

rewona [7]

Answer:

Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}$

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20$

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10$

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces $5\times 10=50$ pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.

What are the coordinates of each point after quadrilateral ABCD is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 2 units down?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

$A" =(-1,-1)$ $B" =(-2,1)$

$C" =(-4,1)$ $D" =(-5,-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (1,1)$ $B =(2,3)$

$C = (4,3)$ $D = (5,1)$

Required

The new coordinates after reflected across y-axis and shifted 2 units down

When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the rule is:

$(x,y)=>(-x,y)$

So:

$A = (1,1)$ $=> A' = (-1,1)$

$B =(2,3)$ $=> B' = (-2,3)$

$C = (4,3)$ $=> C' = (-4,3)$

$D = (5,1)$ $=> D' = (-5,1)$

When a point is translated 2 units down, the rule is:

$(x,y) => (x,y-2)$

So:

$A = (1,1)$ $=> A' = (-1,1)$ $=> A" =(-1,-1)$

$B =(2,3)$ $=> B' = (-2,3)$ $=> B" =(-2,1)$

$C = (4,3)$ $=> C' = (-4,3)$ $=> C" =(-4,1)$

$D = (5,1)$ $=> D' = (-5,1)$ $=> D" =(-5,-1)$

So, the new coordinates are:

$A" =(-1,-1)$ $B" =(-2,1)$

$C" =(-4,1)$ $D" =(-5,-1)$

Mike says that 3/3 of his fraction model is shaded blue. Ryan says that 6/6 of the same model is shaded blue. Are the two fracti

MArishka [77]

Yes they are both equivalents because they are whole's and some examples would be 8/8,9/9,4/4. and 5/5 because they are all whole's 7 out of 7 pieces of pizza is the whole pizza.

Monique drew a square and inscribed circle on a sheet of paper, as shown below

Irina-Kira [14]

If you know the area of the square is 256 and the area of the circle is 200.96 you subtract 200.96 from 256 and you get 55.04 is the area of the square that is not covered by the circle. so 55.04/256 because that will give you the percent of the area that is outside that circle but inside the square and you get .215 or 21.50%
