Answer:

440miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that mileage of 165 = 3/8 of a tank of gas

as inverse 5/8 would be left and the product we seek to add to 165.

We find a ratio to distribute 165 as 3/8

First we double and find 6/8 is an even number and = 330 miles.

= 3/4 ratio and that is 6:8 so 2 extra we seek to make a full tank before we add is 1/3 of 330 miles as 1/3 = 2/8 to make this balance only in this question is this possible as we call it distribution like percentage 10% added to 100 would always be 10 just like it is added, but finding 10% of 110 is different.

Therefore so would 1/3 afterwards once we find 1/3 = 2/8 is not the same as finding 1/3 after we find the full tank.

1/3 of 330 = 110

110 +330 = 440miles

I hope that helps you see how to work out close range distribution.

As now not that it's asking you to see 1/3 of 440miles but in same principal as explained about the 10% theory, you see 1/3 of 440 miles is now more than 110. it is 1/3 x 440 = 146.66 = 1/3. and so we can prove distribution is possible and say 2/8 = 1/3 even though in relation to 1 as a whole number its not true. It's only true in distribution.

The ratio of the number of cups of blue paint to the number of cups of red paint that Lara mixed to make a shade of purple paint
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a

Generally given that the number of cups of blue to that of red paint is 3: 1 then the Lara mixed 3 cups of blue paint with 1 cup of red paint

b

The number is  x=  \frac{1}{3}

c

The price is P  = \$ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The ratio of  the number of cups of blue paint to the number of cups of red paint is  r  =  3: 1

Generally given that the number of cups of blue to that of red paint is 3: 1 then the Lara mixed 3 cups of blue paint with 1 cup of red paint

Given that  1 cup of  red paint  =>   3 cups of blue paint

                 x cup of  red paint  =>  1  cup of  blue paint

So

         x=  \frac{1 *  1}{3}

=>      x=  \frac{1}{3}

Generally the unit price of a cup of blue paint is mathematically represented as

     P  =  \frac{48}{6}

=>  P  = \$ 8

3. Which relation is a function?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that functions are defined only if for each value in the domain produces one and only one value in the range.

If we view the relations in the questions as x-y coordinates, this means that for every x-value, you can only have one y-value

Lets evaluate the options:

A) we can see that for x = -3, this gives 2 possible values for y i.e (-3,4) and (-3,8) (hence this is not a function)

C) we can see that for x = 3, this gives 2 possible values for y i.e (3,-8) and (3,8) (hence this is not a function)

D) we can see that for x = -3, this gives 2 possible values for y i.e (-3,4) and (-3,8) (hence this is not a function)

the only choice where this doesn't occur is choice B
