Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. (Assume the car travels the same distanc

e for each one gallon of gas)
The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas you use.
a. Write an equation that relates miles traveled to gallons of gas used. (Use any variable you like in the equation.

b. How far can you drive with 3.7 gallons of gas? (Make sure to show the calculations you did to determine this answer)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you drive a car 392 miles on one tank of gas. The tank holds 14 gallons of gas. This means that

1 gallon of gas would be used to drive 392/14 = 28 miles

a) The number of miles traveled varies directly with the number of gallons of gas used.

Let x =number of gallons of gas you use.

Let y = the number of miles travelled.

Since y varies directly with x, we will introduce a constant of proportionality, k. Therefore,

y = kx

If 28 miles will require 1 gallon of gas, it means

28 = 1×k

k = 28

So y = 28x

b) we want to determine how far you can drive with 3.7 gallons of gas.

x = 3.7

y = 28x = 28×3.7

y = 103.6 miles

Convert 7/66 to a decimal equivalent
wlad13 [49]

\frac{7}{66} = 0.10606

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{7}{66}

Since we have only one digit in the numerator and the denominator has 2 digits, we have to 0 along with 7, so that it becomes 70, 1 time 66 is 66, 70 - 66 = 4 is the remainder, so the quotient is 0.1, then along with 4 we have to add one 0 , so it becomes 40 which is lesser than 66 so one more 0 is added and then it becomes 400, 6 times 66 is 396, 400 - 396 = 4 again the process going on. The quotient is 0.10606...

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point ( -2 , 3) lies in the 2nd quadrant

Point are generally in the form (x , y). The point you need to plot is ( -2 , 3) which means the value of x = -2 and the value of y = 3.

I have attached an image you can check it out.

Find the value. Please
IgorC [24]
The cosine ratio is adjacent leg divided by the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse in a right triangle is the longest side and it is opposite the right angle.
An adjacent leg is the side that has an endpoint that is at the vertex of the angle and the other endpoint is at the vertex of the right angle.

cos A = \frac{12}{20} =  \frac{3*4}{5*4} = \frac{3}{5}
ANSWER: cosA= \frac{3}{5}
