Stan's lawn mower had ⅛ of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. Stand started mowing and used all of the gasoline. He put 6/10 of a

gallon of gasoline in the tank. After he mowed, ¼ of a gallon was left in the tank. What was the total amount of gasoline Stan used? *

Answer:Stan used 19/40 of a gallon of gasoline.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, Stan's lawn mower had 1/8 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. When it got finished, he put 6/10 of a gallon of gasoline in the tank. It means that the number of gallons of gasoline that he has already put in the tank is

1/8 + 6/10 = 29/40 of a gallon.

After he mowed, 1/4 of a gallon was left in the tank. Therefore, the total amount of gasoline Stan used is

29/40 - 1/4 = 19/40 of a gallon

A piece of wire 11 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
forsale [732]

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can say that the square has a side length of x. The perimeter of the square is 4x, and that is how much wire goes into the square. To maximize the area, we should use all the wire possible, so the remaining wire goes into the triangle, or (11-4x).

The area of the square is x², and the area of an equilateral triangle with side length a is (√3/4)a². Next, 11-4x is equal to the perimeter of the triangle, and since it is equilateral, each side has (11-4x)/3 length. Plugging that in for a, we get the area of the equilateral triangle is

(√3/4)((11-4x)/3)²

= (√3/4)(11/3 - 4x/3)²

= (√3/4)(121/9  - 88x/9 + 16x²/9)

= (16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

The total area is then

(16√3/36)x² - (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36) + x²

= (16√3/36 + 1)x² -  (88√3/36)x + (121√3/36)

Because the coefficient for x² is positive, the parabola would open up and the derivative of the parabola would be the local minimum. Therefore, to find the maximum area, we need to go to the absolute minimum/maximum points of x (x=0 or x=2.75)

When x=0, each side of the triangle is 11/3 meters long and its area is

(√3/4)a² ≈ 5.82

When x=2.75, each side of the square is 2.75 meters long and its area is

2.75² = 7.5625

Therefore, a maximum is reached when x=2.75, or the wire used for the square is 2.75 * 4 = 11 meters
