First, change the fraction (decimal and percent) into gallon
Martha used 17% of the total oil, that means
Martha = 17% × 8 gallons
Martha = 0.17 × 8 gallons
Martha = 1.36 gallons

Brett used 0.18 of the total oil
Brett = 0.18 × 8 gallons
Brett = 1.44 gallons

Mike used 0.7 gallons

Second, compare the number of gallon they used
1.36
1 acts as ones
3 acts as tenths
6 acts as hundreths

1.44
1 acts as ones
4 acts as tenths
4 acts as hundreths

0.7 or 0.70
0 acts as ones
7 acts as tenths
0 acts as hundreths

Compare the ones, 1.44 and 1.36 both have 1 as the ones, however 0.7 has 0 as ones. Because 1 is greater than 0, 1.44 and 1.36 are greater than 0.7.
Now compare the tenth, 1.44 has 4 as the tenths, and 1.36 has 3 as the tenths. Because 4 is greater than 3, 1.44 is greater than 1.36.
1.44 > 1.36 > 0.7
Brett > Martha > Mike
Brett used the greatest amount of oil

The function F is defined by F(x)=x^2+3X-10
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

k = 13

smallest zero = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is basically the function of x.

x could be any integer. f(x) is the solution of the function of x.

f(x) is defined as x² + 3x - 10

f(x) = x² + 3x - 10

Now, f(x+5) = x² + kx + 30

This statement here says that if the value of x is x+5, then the answer would be x² + kx + 30.

f(x) = x² + 3x - 10

f(x+5) = (x+5)² + 3(x+5) - 10

f(x+5) = x² + 10x + 25 + 3x + 15 - 10

f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 40 - 10

f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 30

x² + 13x + 30 = x² + kx + 30

hence, k = 13

Smallest zero = The smallest x value.

f(x+5) = x² + 13x + 30

Let's take f(x+5) = 0

x² + 13x + 30 = 0

which two numbers products give us 30 and add up to 13?

== 6 and 5

(x+6)(x+5) = 0

x+6 = 0

x = -6

x+5 = 0

x = -5

The two solutions are -6 and -5

The smallest out of these two is -6.

Write the expression fourteen added to the product of seven and a number
victus00 [196]

Answer:

(7×x)+14

Step-by-step explanation: Because we have 14 added to something, we will need a + to whatever we are adding to. The product of 7 and a number is 7×x because product is the number you get after multiplication. So we get 7×x+14. You dont need parenthesis

Hope this helps!

Allushta [10]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{a=36;\ b=-9}

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x-3)(6x+3)=ax^2+b\qquad|\text{use}\ (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\\\\(6x)^2-3^2=ax^2+b\\\\6^2x^2-9=ax^2+b\\\\36x^2-9=ax^2+b\Rightarrow a=36;\ b=-9

A bag contains 7 red marbles, 5 blue marbles and 4 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probabi
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

<h3>0.063</h3><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<h3>probability is defined as the measure of chances of events happening or chances of occurrence.The probability that an event can happen is zero(0)</h3><h3>Probability can be calculated using the formular: number of required outcome all over number of total possible outcome.</h3>

Probability of 3 red = 7/16 x 6/15 x 5/14 = (7)(6)(5)/(16)(15)(14)=

6x5/16x15x2 = 5/16x5= 1/16 = (1/2)(.125) = 0.0625

Probability of 3 reds = 0.0625

round off to thousandths Pr(3R) = 0.063
