You drive 75 miles and use 3 gallons of gas, at the same ratio, how may miles can you drive with 12 gallons of gas?

When you say "at the same ratio", you mean that you consume the same amount of gas for the same amount of miles.

We know that everytime you drive 75 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas.

Since 12 gallons of gas is four times 3 gallons of gas, if the ratio remains the same, you can drive four times the distance:

You drive 75 miles, and use 3 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 75+75 = 150 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 3+3 = 6 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 150+75 = 225 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 6+3 = 9 gallons.

You drive 75 more miles (so you are at 225+75 = 300 miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use 9+3 = 12 gallons, and you're done.

Forgot to do this over winter break. Its due tomorrow and I haven't used my brain for 2 weeks. HELPPP (may have to zoom in)

1. 60,30,90 right triangle. y will be hypotenuse/2, x will be
hypotenuse*sqrt(3)/2. So x = 16*sqrt(3)/2 = 8*sqrt(3), approximately 13.85640646 
y = 16/2 = 8  
2. 45,45,90 right triangle (2 legs are equal length and you have a right angle).
X and Y will be the same length and that will be hypotenuse * sqrt(2)/2. So 
x = y = 8*sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/2 = 8*2/2 = 8 
 3. Just a right triangle with both legs of known length. Use the Pythagorean theorem 
x = sqrt(12^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(144 + 25) = sqrt(169) = 13  
4. Another right triangle with 1 leg and the hypotenuse known. Pythagorean theorem again. 
y = sqrt(1000^2 - 600^2) = sqrt(1000000 - 360000) = sqrt(640000) = 800  5. A 45,45,90 right triangle. One leg known. The other leg will have the same length as the known leg and the hypotenuse can be discovered with the Pythagorean theorem.  x = 6. y = sqrt(6^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(36+36) = sqrt(72) = sqrt(2 * 36) = 6*sqrt(2), approximately 8.485281374  
6. Another 45,45,90 triangle with the hypotenuse known. Both unknown legs will have the same length. And Pythagorean theorem will be helpful. 
x = y. 
12^2 = x^2 + y^2 
12^2 = x^2 + x^2 
12^2 = 2x^2 
144 = 2x^2 
72 = x^2 
sqrt(72) = x 
6*sqrt(2) = x 
x is approximately 8.485281374  
7. A 30,60,90 right triangle with the short leg known. The hypotenuse will be twice the length of the short leg and the remaining leg can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem. 
y = 11*2 = 22. 
x = sqrt(22^2 - 11^2) = sqrt(484 - 121) = sqrt(363) = sqrt(121 * 3) = 11*sqrt(3). Approximately 19.05255888  
8. A 30,60,90 right triangle with long leg known. Can either have fact that in that triangle, the legs have the ratio of 1:sqrt(3):2, or you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, I'll use the 1:2 ratio between the unknown leg and the hypotenuse along with the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = 2y 
y^2 = x^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = (2y)^2 - (22.5*sqrt(3))^2 
y^2 = 4y^2 - 1518.75 
-3y^2 = - 1518.75 
y^2 = 506.25 = 2025/4 
y = sqrt(2025/4) = sqrt(2025)/sqrt(4) = 45/2 
Therefore: 
y = 22.5
 x = 2*y = 2*22.5 = 45  
9. Just a generic right triangle with 2 known legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(16^2 + 30^2) = sqrt(256 + 900) = sqrt(1156) = 34  
10. Another right triangle, another use of the Pythagorean theorem. 
x = sqrt(50^2 - 14^2) = sqrt(2500 - 196) = sqrt(2304) = 48

An apartment cost $875 per month to rent the owner raises the price by 20% and then gives a discount of 8% to renters who signed
USPshnik [31]

Answer: $84

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 875=175; 175+875=1050; 8% of 1050=84, so your final answer would be $84.
