Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the complete question attached in figure.

Consider

Hadley = x

Parker = y

Greenville = z

Distance between Greenville and Parker = yz = 29

Given that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 13 miles less than the distance between Parker and Greenville.

xz = yz -13 --- (1)

Distance between hardley and greenville = xz = ?

From (1)

xz = 29 -13

xz = 16 miles

So Alan is right that distance between Hadley and Greenville is 16 miles

In a school, the ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 4 : 1. The number of soccer players is how many times the numb

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly. If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players. For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.

The equivalent expression would be S = 4F

The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing. It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.

The equivalent expression would be S = F + 4

That being said: An equivalent ratio to 4:1 would be 8:2 , 12:3, 16:4, ...

Think of the ratio as a fraction. 4:1 = 4/1

4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.

Javier's fuel tank holds 12 3/4 gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The tank can hold $12\frac{3}{4}$ gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of gasoline to fill it completely.

We need to find: How many gallons of gasoline were in the tank before Javier added some?

For this, we need to subtract added gallons of gasoline from the capacity of the tank.

$12\frac{3}{4}-10.3=\frac{51}{4}-10.3$

$=12.75-10.3$

$=2.45$

Hence, 2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

What is the simplified value of the exponential expression 64 1/4

katrin [286]

$\bf a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies \sqrt[ m]{a^ n} 
\qquad \qquad
\sqrt[ m]{a^ n}\implies a^{\frac{ n}{ m}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
64^{\frac{1}{4}}\qquad \boxed{64=2^6}\qquad (2^6)^{\frac{1}{4}}\implies 2^{6\cdot \frac{1}{4}}\implies 2^{\frac{6}{4}}\implies 2^{\frac{3}{2}}
\\\\\\
\sqrt[2]{2^3}\implies \sqrt{2^{2+1}}\implies \sqrt{2^2\cdot 2^1}\implies 2\sqrt{2}$
