Answer:

The car traveled 16 miles per gallon in the city

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed in highway = a miles per gallon

Speed in city = b miles per gallon

The car covers a miles with 1 gallon of fuel in the highway

It will cover 462 miles with 462/a gallons of fuel in the highway

The car covers b miles with 1 gallon of fuel in the city

It will cover 336 miles with 336/b gallons of fuel in the city

The car traveled 6 fewer miles per gallon in the city than on the highway

b = a - 6

Since the speed does not change with the fuel capacity of the car

462/a = 336/b

But b = a -6

462/a = 336/(a-6)

462(a-6) = 336a

462a - 2772 = 336a

462a - 336a = 2772

126a = 2772

a = 2772/126

a = 22 miles per gallon

The car travel 22 miles per gallon in the highway

In the city, b = a -6

b = 22 -6

b = 16 miles per gallon

The car traveled 16 miles per gallon in the city

Jaime makes the following claim.
Sphinxa [80]

Jaime is incorrect, the angle does not depend on the radius of the circles.

<h3>Is Jaime correct?</h3>

Remember that an angle that defines an arc on a circle, does not depend on the radius of the circle.

So, if we have an angle with a measure of π/3 radians in a circle with a radius of 3 inches and an angle with a measure of π/3 radians in a circle with a radius of 6 inches, these two angles are exactly the same thing.

The radius of the circle only has an impact on the length of the arc defined by the angle.

So Jaime is clearly incorrect.

Brian usually brushes his teeth in the morning, but 10% of the time he forgets. What is the probability that he will forget to b
Katena32 [7]

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.001 = 0.1% probability that he will forget to brush his teeth three days in a row.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, for each day, there is a 0.1 probability that he forgers to brush his teeth, and days are independent, hence for 3 consecutive days the probability is given by:

p = (0.1)³ = 0.001.

Consider the following problem: A farmer with 750 ft of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into four
gregori [183]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

For any rectangle, the one with the largest area will be the one whose dimensions are as close to a square as possible.

However, the dividers change the process to find this maximum somewhat.

Letting x represent two sides of the rectangle and the 3 parallel dividers, we have 2x+3x = 5x.

Letting y represent the other two sides of the rectangle, we have 2y.

We know that 2y + 5x = 750.

Solving for y, we first subtract 5x from each side:

2y + 5x - 5x = 750 - 5x

2y = -5x + 750

Next we divide both sides by 2:

2y/2 = -5x/2 + 750/2

y = -2.5x + 375

We know that the area of a rectangle is given by

A = lw, where l is the length and w is the width.  In this rectangle, one dimension is x and the other is y, making the area

A = xy

Substituting the expression for y we just found above, we have

A = x(-2.5x+375)

A = -2.5x² + 375x

This is a quadratic equation, with values a = -2.5, b = 375 and c = 0.

To find the maximum, we will find the vertex.  First we find the axis of symmetry, using the equation

x = -b/2a

x = -375/2(-2.5) = -375/-5 = 75

Substituting this back in place of every x in our area equation, we have

A = -2.5x² + 375x

A = -2.5(75)² + 375(75) = -2.5(5625) + 28125 = -14062.5 + 28125 = 14062.5
