Jim drove 436 miles using 16 gallons of gas. At this rate, how many limes would he drive using 14 gallons of gas?

1 answer:

7 0

The ratio here is 16:436.
The easiest way to solve this is finding how many miles Jim can drive using just 1 gallon. We can do this by dividing both sides of the ratio by 16.

16÷16 is 1
436÷16 is 27.25
so our new ratio is 1 gallon:27.25 miles.

next we simply multiply both sides by 14.
1x14=14
27.25x14=381.5 miles :)

Answer:

The original number of oranges purchased is 260

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number of oranges purchased be x

We are given that The number of oranges a grocery store bought this year was 15% more than the number of oranges bought last year.

So, Oranges bought this year = $x+15\%x=x+\frac{15}{100}x=1.15x$

We are given that This year the store bought 299 oranges.

So, $1.15 x= 299$

$x=\frac{299}{1.15}$

x=260

Hence the original number of oranges purchased is 260

|2w - 3| > 5 <br><br>This is solving absolute value Inequalities. you through step by step?

dusya [7]

If |2w - 3| > 5

then

2w - 3 < - 5 or 2w - 3 > 5

2w < - 5 + 3 or 2w > 5 + 3

2w < - 2 or 2w > 8

w < -2/2 or w > 8/2

w < -1 or w > 4

So the solution set is

S = { x E R : w < -1 or w > 4}

or using the interval notation

S = (- infinity, -1) U (4, + infinity).

I hope this helps. =)
