family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The second car consumed 25 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1475 miles and the sum of their fuel efficiency was 65 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiency of each of the cars that week

Given that :

Fuel efficiency , car 1 = x

Fuel efficiency , car 2 = y

x + y = 65 - - (1)

15x + 35y = 1475 - - - (2)

x = 65 - y

15(65-y) + 35y

975 - 15y + 35y = 1475

20y = 14875 - 975

20y = 500

y = 25

Put y = 25 in (1)

x + y = 65

x + 25 = 65

x = 65 - 25

x = 40

4,284 passengers traveling by the intercity bus every day, the intercity bus operates 6 hours every day, find the number of pass

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

714

Step-by-step explanation:

So lets go over what we know.

The bus only goes for 6 hours each day.

So lets just think of a full day as 6 hours.

Each day(6 hours), 4284 passangers ride the bus.

To find passangers per hour, we must divide the total passangers by the total hours.

This is 4284(total passangers) divided by 6(total hours):

4284/6

714

So each hour, there are 714 passangers.

Hope this helps!
