Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the equation of the line:
put it in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
You already have m = 2, so y = 2x + b.
Then, since you know (1, 3) is a solution so you can plug x = 1 and y = 3 into the equation to find out what b is.
3 = 2 * 1 + b
3 = 2 + b
1 = b
This means the equation of the line is y = 2x + 1.
Then, since you're trying to find out what y is when x = 2, you can plug in x = 2 into the equation:
y = 2 * 2 + 1
y = 4 + 1
y = 5
5 is the answer
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
Answer:
C. 185 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The work is in the attached picture file, if you need it. Basically the question sets up a right triangle, for which the base is 200 and the height is the goal that you are solving for. It is given that the angle between hypotenuse and base is 42 degrees. For this you use tangent to say that
tan(42) = h / 200
200 tan (42) = h
h = 180 feet.
But then you must remember that this triangle starts 5 feet off of the ground. So you add the 5 feet and get 185 feet as the height of the tower.
Answer:
<em>1796 students are boys.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
If 5/9 of students are girls, then 4/9 of the students are boys.
4/9 * 4041 = 1796
