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 :)

∠A and \angle B∠B are supplementary angles. If m\angle A=(2x-16)^{\circ}∠A=(2x−16) ∘ and m\angle B=(5x+28)^{\circ}∠B=(5x+28) ∘ ,

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The measure of angle A is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

A+B=180

2x-16+5x+28=180

7x+12=180

7x=168

x=24

A=2(24)-16

A=48-16

A=32

What is the value of x (x+2)(x-3)=0

wolverine [178]

Answer:

x = 3 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Hint: | Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

x - 3 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 3 or x + 2 = 0

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 3 or x = -2

What is the predicted difference in sleep between individuals A and B, where individual A has 12 years of education and works 20

kari74 [83]

Answer: The predicted difference in sleep is 1251437 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of years of education = 12 years

Number of minutes a week = 2000

As we have

In case of individual A:

7 days = 2000 minutes

1 year = 365 days = $\dfrac{2000}{7}\times 365=104285$

12 years = $104285\times 12=1251420\ minutes$

In case of individual B:

7 days = 3000 minutes

1 year = 365 days = $\dfrac{3000}{7}\times 365=156428$

16 years = $156428\times 16=2502857$ minutes

So, the predicted difference in sleep between individuals A and B is given by

$2502857-1251420\\\\=1251437\ minutes$

Hence, the predicted difference in sleep is 1251437 minutes.
