Answer:

  30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this context, "per" means "divided by", so to find miles per gallon, divide miles by gallons:

  (56 1/4 mi)/(1 7/8 gal) = 30 mi/gal

The vehicle can travel 30 miles per gallon of gas.

_____

My calculator divides mixed numbers directly, as many graphing calculators do. If you're working this out by hand, you can convert to improper fractions, then multiply the numerator by the inverse of the denominator.

  (56 1/4)/(1 7/8) = (225/4)/(15/8)

  = (225/4)·(8/15) = (225/15)·(8/4)

  = 15·2 = 30

Answer question below.
12345 [234]

The speed of the Elvira is 6.545 miles per hour. Then the speed of the Altheia will be 0.545 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

Let the speed of the Elvira be x. Then the speed of the Altheia will be (x - 6).

Let the distance between the coffee shop and Elvira's house be d.

Then the distance between the coffee shop and Altheia's house will be (3.6 - d).

Then we have

x = d / 0.5 ...1

(x - 6) = (3.6 - d) / 0.6 ...2

In solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 6.545 and d = 3.2725 miles

Then the speed of the Elvira is 6.545 miles per hour. Then the speed of the Altheia will be 0.545 miles per hour.

More about the speed link is given below.

Angles A and B are congruent. Find the value of x. Show all work to receive credit.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides opposite congruent angles are congruent:

  x + 10 = 2x - 5

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . add 5-x

The value of x is 15.

_____

I suppose you could show the intermediate step:

  x +10 +(5 -x) = 2x -5 +(5 -x)

  15 = x . . . . . simplified
