Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip. The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas. The second car c

an travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas. Each car costs the same to rent, and Sam wants to rent the car with the better gas mileage. Sam estimates that he will pay $49.42 for every 14 gallons of gas he has to buy. Which car should Sam rent, and how much money should Sam bring for gas? Explain your reasoning.

Solution:

The first car can travel 75 miles on 5 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{5}{75}=\frac{1}{15} gallon

The second car can travel 240 miles on 20 gallons of gas.

So  per mile gas consumed by car=\frac{20}{240}=\frac{1}{12} gallon

It mean Sam should rent the First car.

Sam is renting one of two cars to go on a 300-mile trip.

So total number of gallons of gas required=\frac{1}{15}*300=20

Total cost of 20 gallons of gas =\frac{49.42}{14}*20= 70.6 dollar

Under a certain transformation T, AA'BC' is the image of AABC. The perimeter of AA'B'C' is twice the perimeter of ABC. What kind
Anika [276]

The dimensions of the image are twice the dimensions of the preimage,

which indicates that the transformation is a dilation.

  • The transformation <em>T</em> is; <u>a dilation transformation with a scale factor of 2, D₂</u>

Reasons:

The transformation applied to ΔABC = T

The image of ΔABC following the transformation, T = ΔA'B'C'

The perimeter of ΔA'B'C' = Twice the perimeter of ΔABC

Therefore, we have;

A'B' + B'C' + A'C' = 2 × (AB + BC + AC)

Which gives

A'B' + B'C' + A'C' = 2·AB + 2·BC + 2·AC

By similar triangles, we have the ratio of corresponding sides as follows;

\displaystyle \frac{AB}{A'B'}  = \frac{BC}{B'C'} = \mathbf{ \frac{AC}{A'C'}}

Which gives;

\displaystyle \frac{AB}{A'B'}  = \frac{AB}{2 \cdot AB} = \frac{1}{2}

A'B' = 2·AB

Therefore;

  • Triangle ΔA'B'C' is twice the dimension of triangle ΔABC, and <em>T</em> is <u>a dilation transformation with a scale factor of 2, D₂</u>

What is the slope for (6,2) (9,8)
fredd [130]

Answer:

3/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is how one number gets to the next, in this instance we have point (6,2) at x=6 y=2 to get from there to the next point x=9 y=8 we would have to count up three and over six. Therefore, the answer is 3/6.

Hope this helps!

Bob is going to China, and he wants to bring some DVDs on the airplane. If Bob has a collection of 15 DVDs, in how many ways can
Ksju [112]
There would be "five ways" to bring three DVD's. If you divide fifteen by three there would be five. 

15/3=5&#10;&#10;&#10;

To prove your work:

3 * 5 = 15
