Answer:

3/4 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

1/4 gallon 1/3 fence

---------------- = ----------------------

x 1 whole fence

Then (1/4)(1) = (1/3)(x). Multiplying both sides by 3 to isolate (solve for) x, we get:

3/4 gallon = x = the amount of paint needed to cover the entire fence

Answer:

x = 5/(a+3-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+3x = bx+5

ax+3x-bx = 5

Take x as a common.

x(a +3 - b) = 5

x = 5/(a+3-b)

Answer:

The y-coordinate of the point is approximately 2.42.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached below the statement we derive the following equation to calculate the y-coordinate ( $y$ ), dimensionless, of the point in terms of the x-coordinate ( $x$ ), dimensionless, and angle of the line ( $\theta$ ), measured in sexagesimal degrees:
