The ratio here is 16:436.
The easiest way to solve this is finding how many miles Jim can drive using just 1 gallon. We can do this by dividing both sides of the ratio by 16.
16÷16 is 1
436÷16 is 27.25
so our new ratio is 1 gallon:27.25 miles.
next we simply multiply both sides by 14.
1x14=14
27.25x14=381.5 miles :)
Answer:
<u>y = -2x + 7</u>
Explanation:
<em><u>y = mx + b</u></em>
<em><u /></em>
<em>m = slope</em>
<em>b = y-intercept</em>
<em>y = a given y coordinate</em>
<em>x = a corresponding x coordinate</em>
<em />
First, we need to find the slope (m).
1) (4, -1)
2) (2/3)
m = slope =
=
=
= -2
plug in the values to the equation <u>y = mx + b</u>
<u />
-1 = -2(4) + b
-1 = -8 + b
7 = b
now, we can substitute in m and b into the equation y = mx + b
<u><em>y = -2x + 7</em></u>
Answer:
140m
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 = .75
x/.7 = 150/.75
multiply both sides by .7
x = 150/.75 * .7
x = 140m
False because if it’s a positive number then the opposite is gonna be a negative
