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

sveta [45]

Answer:

49 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the height, h of the ramp ;; we use trigonometry ;

h = opposite and the value of the hypotenus :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin 22 = h / 132

h = 132 * sin 22

h = 132 * 0.3746065

h = 49.44

Height of ramp = 49 inches
