From 2.56 to 3.18; 3.18-2.56=0.62 increased 
so if 2.56 represented 100%
       0.62 represents     ? %
cross multiply 
?%= 0.62·100/2.56=24.21875 which rounded to the nearest whole is 24%
Answer is B).

Answer: B.) 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The average cost for a gallon of gasoline increased from $2.56 one year to $3.18 the next year.

Increase in cost ( in dollars) = 3.18-2.56=0.62

The formula to find the percent decrease :-

\dfrac{\text{Increase in cost}}{\text{Previous cost}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{0.62}{2.56}\times100\\\\=24.21875\approx24\%\ \ \text{[Rounded to the nearest whole percent.]}

Hence, the percent of increase = 24%

Which statement explains how the lines 2x + y = 4 and y = one halfx + 4 are related?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

They are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem .

we will convert the equations in slope intercept form.

Slope intercept  form of equation is y = mx+c

where m is slope of line and c is y intercept.

________________________________

equation 1 is

2x+y = 4

=> y =4 - 2x or y = -2x + 4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = -2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

equation 2 is y = one halfx + 4 ( one half is same as 1/2)

so equation is

y = x/2 +4

comparing it with y = mx + c

m = 1/2  , c = 4

_________________________________________

Now lets evaluate options

They are parallel.  wrong option

For lines to be parallel slope should be same.

But here slope are different -2 and 1/2 .

Thus lines are not parallel.

__________________________________________

They are perpendicular.  correct option

For lines to be perpendicular, product of slope should be equal to -1.

-2*1/2 = -1

we can see that product of slope should be equal to -1 .

Thus lines are  perpendicular

______________________________________

They are the same line.  wrong option

For lines to be same both slope and y intercept should  be same.

Y intercept is same but the slopes are different -2 and 1/2  .

Thus lines are not  the same line.

__________________________________________

They are not related.       wrong option

As we have found that the lines are perpendicular .

So this option is intuitively wrong

Can someone PLease help me, Please please
Molodets [167]
The triangle on the left appears to be congruent with the triangle on the right.  If this observation is actually valid, then x+7 = 2x-5.  12=x  Yes, I realize that this doesn't match any of the answer choices, 'tho the 4th choice is the only one that contains "12."  Would you please share the instructions for this problem.

a rectangular prism is 5 meters long, 17 meters wide, and 4 meters high. what is the surface area of the rectangular prism?
Mars2501 [29]

The surface area of rectangular prism is 346 square meters.

Given the figure is rectangular prism.

We know that the surface area of rectangular prism with length L, width W and height H is = 2(LW+WH+LH)

Given that the length of prism = 5 m

Width of prism = 17 m

Height of prism = 4 m

So the total surface area of the rectangular prism is given by,

= 2 [5*17 + 17*4 + 4*5]

= 2 [85 + 68 + 20]

= 2*173

= 346 square meters

Hence the surface area of rectangular prism is 346 square meters.

PLEASE HELP ME this is really hard please
krok68 [10]

Answer:

  1100

  2200

Step-by-step explanation:

Since speed is constant, the distance is proportional to the time. We notice that the number in the second column is 1650/3 = 550 times the number in the first column, so the two missing numbers are ...

  2 × 550 = 1100

  4 × 550 = 2200
