Question:

The tank for a car holds 17 gallons. The gasoline gauge shows the tank is 3/4 full. How much gas is still in the tank?

Give your answer as a whole number or as a mixed fraction reduced to lowest terms.

Answer:

Gas \: \:left = 12 \frac{3}{4} \: \:gallons \\\\

Step-by-step explanation:

The tank for a car holds 17 gallons.

The gasoline gauge of the car shows that the tank is 3/4 full.

We are asked to find the remaining gasoline in the tank.

Gas \: \:left = \frac{3}{4} \times 17 \\\\Gas \: \:left = \frac{51}{4}  \\\\Gas \: \:left = 12 \frac{3}{4}  \: \:gallons \\\\

Therefore, the remaining gas in the tank is 12\frac{3}{4} gallons.

Alternatively:

1 - \frac{3}{4}  = \frac{1}{4}

Amount of gasoline consumed = \frac{1}{4} \times 17 =  \frac{17}{4}

Amount of gasoline left = total - consumed

Amount of gasoline left = 17 - \frac{17}{4} = 12\frac{3}{4} \:\: gallons

Follow the process of completing the square to solve x^2 - 10x + 8 = 0. What is the value of the constant that will be isolated
My name is Ann [436]
To solve using completing square method we proceed as follows:
x^2-10x+8=0
x^2-10x=-8
but
c=(b/2)^2
c=(10/2)^2=25
thus we can add this in our expression to get
x^2-10x+25=8+25
factorizing the LHS we get:
(x-5)(x-5)=33
(x-5)^2=33
getting the square roots of both sides we have:
x-5=+/-√33
x=5+/-√33

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere. How many times is the volume of the large sphere than t
kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of a sphere is \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3

So, if the small sphere has radius r and the largest sphere has radius 2r, their volumes are

V_1 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3,\quad V_2 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi (2r)^3 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3

So, their ratio is

\cfrac{V_2}{V_1} = \cfrac{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3}{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3} = 8

Find the inverse of square root f(n) = n – 3.
pogonyaev

Answer:

f'(n) = n + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(n) = n - 3

Required

The inverse

f(n) = n - 3

Replace f(n) with y

y = n - 3

Swap positions of y and n

n = y - 3

Make y the subject

y = n + 3

Replace y with f'(n)

f'(n) = n + 3
