Set up a ratio of known to unknown:
Let X = the amount of gas needed for 500 miles:
220/12 = 500/x
Cross multiply:
220x = 6000
Divide both sides by 220:
X = 6000 / 220
x = 27.27 gallons (round answer as needed).
She spent 17 hours tutoring
$210 = 7 hours
$20 x 10 hours = $200
$210 + $200 = $410
7 Hours + 10 Hours = 17 Hours
Bo, 4.23 is not bigger than 4.3
Let
x be the price for a pound of ham
y the price for a pound of cheese
<span>1.3x +0.8y = 11.28 ....(1)
1.5x +1.2y = 14.76 ....(2)
Lets multiply (1) by -1.2
Lets multiply (2) by 0.8
-1.56x -0.96y = -13.536 .....(3)
</span> 1.2x + 0.96y = 11.808 .....(4)
If we add (3) and (4)
-0.36x = -1.728 ............> x = 4.8
We substitute in (1)
1.3(4.8) +0.8y = 11.28
y = 6.3
Price per pound of ham = x = 4.8
Price per pound of cheese = y = 6.3
From the given data:<span> vertex at the origin and a focus at (0, 9), the parabola should be facing upwards. In this case, the length of the latus rectum is 9 units which is a. Hence the equation becomes y = 4 (9) x^2. The equation is equal to y = 36 x^2. The standard form is 36 x^2 - y = 0.</span>
