Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

total distance= 850 miles

gas tank holds gas= 15 gallons

mileage = 72/3.2 miles/gallon

if

72 miles uses= 3.2 gallon

then

850 miles uses= x gallons

by cross-multiplication we get

72x=3.2(850)

x=37.778

i.e. 850 miles will use 37.7778 gallon of gas

Asgas tank holds 15 gallons

number of times gas tank is used up= 37.3/15

                                                            = 2.518

rounding off

number of times gas tank is used up=3

As they filled the gas tank at the start of the road trip, hence 3-1=2

ADDITIONAL STOPS FOR GAS WILL THEY NEED TO MAKE TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION =2 !

V + 9<br> ---------- = 8 <br> 3<br><br> Can someone help me ??
bagirrra123 [75]
\frac{v + 9}{3} = 8

Multiply both sides by 3, because 3 is our denominator (bottom number in a fraction), and we want to get rid of the denominator.

3 × (v + 9) = 8 × 3

Simplify.

3v + 27 = 24

Then, subtract both sides by 27.

3v = 24 - 27

Simplify.

3v = -3

Divide both sides by 3.

v = -1
