Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that
1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles
a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.
Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.
Let y = the number of miles travelled.
Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,
y = kx
If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means
28 = 1×k
k = 28
So y = 28x
b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.
x = 3.7
y = 28x = 28×3.7
y = 103.6 miles
Answer:
522
Step-by-step explanation:
(6/13)/(6/12)= (6/13)*(12/6)= 12/13
This rule for division applies to all fraction divisions
Answer:
Money spend on drink = £ 609
Step-by-step explanation:
Food : drink = 29 : 3
Money spend on food = 29x
Money spend on drink = 3x
Total money spend = 29x + 3x = 32x
32x = £6496
x = 6496/32
x = £ 203
Money spend on drink = 3x = 3 * 203 = £ 609
