Answer:

about 6.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion to solve this problem.

1 cm is to 6.5 miles as x cm is to 45 miles

1/6.5 = x/45 now solve for x by cross multiplying

45 = 6.5x

45/6.5 = x

6.923076923 cm = x

sleet_krkn [62]

Given the data above, we can calculate the rate of the driving of the car. rate is equal to miles driven per gallon which is computed to be 28 miles per gallon. In this case, if we are asked to determine the number of gallons to drive 420 miles, then 420 miles / 28 miles per gallon equal to 15 gallons.

Please this is due tonight!!! Express given logarithm in terms of a, b and c.

KATRIN_1 [288]

$\textit{Logarithm Change of Base Rule} \\\\ \log_a b\implies \cfrac{\log_c b}{\log_c a}\qquad \qquad c= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{common base for }\\ \textit{numerator and}\\ denominator \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \log_5(18)\implies \cfrac{\log(18)}{\log(5)}\implies \cfrac{\log(2\cdot 3\cdot 3)}{\log(5)}\implies \cfrac{\log(2)+\log(3)+\log(3)}{\log(5)}$

$\begin{cases} \log(3)=a\\ \log(2)=b\\ \log(5)=c \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{b+a+a}{c}\implies \cfrac{b+2a}{c} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \log_5^2(18)\implies [\log_5(18)]^2\implies \left( \cfrac{b+2a}{c} \right)^2\implies \cfrac{(b+2a)^2}{c^2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \cfrac{b^2+4ab+4a^2}{c^2}~\hfill$
