Starting with the given formula for the area, A = 1/2hb, the first step is to isolate h by using the multiplicative inverse of b, which is $\frac{1}{b}$ on both sides of the equation:

$A(\frac{1}{b}) = \frac{1}{2}hb* (\frac{1}{b})$

The result will be:

$\frac{A}{b} = \frac{1}{2}h$

The last step is to use the multiplicative inverse of $\frac{1}{2}$ , which is 2 or $\frac{2}{1}$ to further isolate the variable <em>h </em>:

$\frac{A}{b} (\frac{2}{1}) = (\frac{2}{1}) \frac{1}{2} h$

The formula for h will be:

$h = \frac{2A}{b}$ which is the option C in your question.

Chris can drive 41 miles for every 3 gallons of gas. At this

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

27 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If for every 41 miles, 3 gallons are needed. Using what we know, 369 ÷ 41 = 9. This means, to get 369 miles, we need to times the first amoiyng of gallons needed to drive 41 miles, which is 3, and times it by 9. (3×9=27) Therefore, 27 gallons of gas is needed.
