Hi there!

"MPG" is an abbreviation for "mile per gallon".

In order to answer your question you'll need to use the cross product method:

856 miles → 29.4 gallons

x miles → 1 gallon

(856 × 1) ÷ 29.4 = x miles

856 ÷ 29.4 = 29.1156463

Since you need to round your answer to the nearest, your answer will be: Eli drove 29 miles per gallon.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Answer: 29 miles per gallon.

Reasoning: 856 miles/29.4 gallons = 29.1156462585 (rounded to the nearest mile = 29)

Hope this helped!

Andre has enough to fill 3500 in.3.. he decides to change the length of the step so that he will use all of the cement. What wil

Mrac [35]

Answer:

43.75 inches or 43 and 3/4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, thanks for the complement of information.

So, to find the volume of that step, which is a rectangular prism, we would use the simple formula:

V = length * width * height

In this case, we have the total volume (3,500 cu in), we have the width (10 inches) and we have the height (8 inches). But we need to find out the new length in order for him to use all 3,500 cu in of cement.

So, we transform the formula above into:

length = V / (width * height)

then we plug-in the numbers:

length = 3,500 / (8 x 10) = 3,500 / 80 = 43.75

So, the new length of the step would be 43.75 inches or 43 and 3/4 inches.

(1 point) A particle starts at the point P=(−2,−1,3)P=(−2,−1,3) when t=0t=0 and moves along a straight line toward Q=(−4,0,6)Q=(

Answer:

The position is given by r(t) = (-2 -t √14, 1 + √3.5, 3 + 3√3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction is given by the difference between the starting point and the end point, thus it is (-4,0,6)-(-2,-1,3) = (-2,1,3). The norm of this vector is √( (-2)²+1²+3²) = √14 = 3.7416 secons

Since the speed is 7 cm/sec, we need to multiply this vector by 7/√14 = √3.5 in order to obtain how much does the particle advance each second.

As a consecuence, it advances (-2,1,3) * √3.5 = (- √14, √3.5, 3 √3.5)

And, as a result, the position after t seconds is given by the function

r(t) = (-2,1,3) + t (-√14, √3.5, 3 √3.5) = (-2 -t √14, 1 + √3.5, 3 + 3√3.5)

Javier had $305 in his bank account. His bank charges a fee of $7.50 each month that a balance is below $500. If he makes no oth

OleMash [197]

To find the fee for three weeks, we need to multiply the fee for one week by 3.
7.50 * 3 = 22.5
Subtract:
305 - 22.5 = 282.5
Javier will have $282.50
