Given

gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.

Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.

To proof

gas prices now = $3.75

let the gas price 6 month ago = x

gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago

First write 10% in simpler form

= \frac{10}{100}

= 0.1

Now the equation becomes

0.1x + x = 3.75

1.1x = 3.75

x =\frac{3.75}{1.1}

x = 3.41 (approx)

Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )

Hence proved

A map uses a scale of 3/4 in = 80 miles. If two buildings are 60 miles apart in real life, how far apart would they be drawn on
Alla [95]

Given:

The scale of a map is \dfrac{3}{4}\ in=80\ miles.

The distance between two buildings is 60 miles.

To find:

The distance between the given building on the map.

Solution:

We have,

\dfrac{3}{4}\ in=80\ miles

It means, 80 miles in real life = \dfrac{3}{4}\ in on the map.

1 mile in real life = \dfrac{3}{4\times 80}\ in on the map.

60 mile in real life = \dfrac{3\times 60}{4\times 80}\ in on the map.

                              = \dfrac{180}{320}\ in on the map.

                              = \dfrac{9}{16}\ in on the map.

Therefore, the buildings are \dfrac{9}{16}\ in apart on the map.

A circle has a diameter of 21 meters. What is the circumference of the circle? Use 22/7 for ∏.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circle is 21. The formula for circumference is pie*radius*2. We don't have the radius but the diameter is just double the radius so just don't multiply by 2. 21 x 22 = 462. 46s divided by 7 is 66. Enjoy your answer :D
