Answer:

56 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

When her gas tank is full, she has x gallons in the tank.

when she went to the gas station, she had (5/8) of x gallons of gas in her tank. she added 21 gallons into her tank, then she had x gallons in her tank.

(5/8)x + 21 = x

subtract x and 21 from both sides

(5/8)x - x = -21

factor out an x from the left side

x(5/8 - 1) = -21

simplify the parenthesis

x(-3/8) = -21

multiply both sides by -8/3

x= 56 gallons

The time it takes you to get to campus varies inversely as your driving rate. averaging 20 miles per hour in terrible​ traffic,
Korvikt [17]
Given that the time taken to get to campus is inversely proportional to driving rate, let the time be t and rate be r, thus the function will be written as:'
t=k/r
where
k is the constant of proportionality given by:
k=tr
when r=20 mph, t=1.25 hrs
thus
k=20×1.25
k=25 miles
thus the formula is:
t=25/r
when r=55 mph, the value of t will be:
t=25/55
t=5/11 hours
