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 :)

Given:

A figure of two congruent triangles.

To find:

The triangle congruence postulate by which the given triangles are congruent.

Solution:

First label the vertices as shown below.

In triangle ABC and triangle CDA,

$AB\cong CD$ (Given)

$\angle BAC\cong \angle DCA$ (Given)

$AC\cong AC$ (Common side)

The corresponding two sides and their included angle are congruent in both triangles. So, triangles are congruent by SAS congruence postulate.

$\Delta ABC\cong \Delta CDA$ [SAS congruence postulate]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

a(t)=(t−k)(t−3)(t−6)(t+3) is a polynomial function of tt, where kk is a constant. Given that a(2)=0a(2)=0, what is the absolute

Crank

Since $a(2)=0$ , we know that $t-2$ must be a factor of $a(t)$ , so $k=2$ . Then the zeros of $a(t)$ are $t=2,3,6,-3$ , and their product is -108, whose absolute value is 108.

an art dealer makes a 17.5% commission on every painting sold. If a painting sold for $1500, what was the commission

Aleksandr [31]

A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.

To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175

1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.

The commission is $262.50.
