The average fleet-wide performance of light duty trucks has made constant improvement since 1980. For example, the time for the
average 1080 light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph was about 14.5 seconds. For 2005 models, that time was only 10.5 seconds.
A) Let m be the model year of a light-duty truck and T be the time in seconds for it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph. Write a linear function T(m) to model the situation.
B) Use your answer to part (A) to predict the time it will take the average light-duty truck to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2015, if the trend continues.

Answer:
<u>44 fluid ounces</u> of lemonade are left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Tate fills a container with 9 1/2 cups of lemonade.
Tate drinks 32 fl. oz. of lemonade.
Now, to find the quantity of fluid ounces left.
So, we convert the unit of cups into fluid ounces.
Tate fill the container of lemonade with =
As, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.
So, by conversion factor:
<em>Thus, Tate fill the container of lemonade with = 76 fl. oz.</em>
<em>Tate drinks lemonade = 32 fl. oz.</em>
Now, to get the fluid ounces left we subtract the quantity of lemonade Tate drink from the total quantity of lemonade filled in the container:
Therefore, 44 fluid ounces of lemonade are left.
