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:
12,500-11,625=875
875/12,500=7/100
7/100*100=7
The percentage reduction is 7%
P.S * represents multiplication
The answer will be 2 cuz you multiply them at the answers
9514 1404 393
Answer:
8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...
1.012^500
The number of doublings is the solution to ...
2^n = 1.012^500
Taking logarithms, we have ...
n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)
n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046
About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.
