Becky adds 3/4 gallon of gasoline into her snow thrower's empty fuel tank. She uses 1/4 gallon for the snowstorm on Friday, and

then uses another 1/4 gallon for the snowstorms on Sunday. Is the fuel tank empty after becky uses the snow thrower on Sunday? Explain. If her fuel tank is not empty again, what single action could have been changed so that it is empty again? Explain.

Amount of fuel in the tank before the story begins . . . . . zero.

Total amount poured in . . . . . 3/4 gallon.

Total amount burned:
                   on Friday . . . . . 1/4 gallon
                   on Sunday . . . . 1/4 gallon
                        Total used . . 1/2 gallon .

Amount remaining in the tank on Monday:

               (3/4 gallon in) - (1/2 gallon burned)  =  1/4 gallon left.
                                                                        ==>  NOT empty

The tank would have been empty on Monday IF Becky
had poured in only 1/2 gallon, instead of 3/4 of a gallon
before the first flakes began to fly.

A ______ of a number is that number times any whole number.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

multiple

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is "multiple" Since a multiple of a number is that number multiplied by another.

Example: 10 is a <u>multiple</u> of 5 because 5 x 2 = 10

               48 is a <u>multiple</u> of 8 beacuse 8 x 6 = 48

Hope this helps :)

4x-6y=14 slope and y intercept?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

m = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate and show the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 4x - 6y = 14.

Calculate the graph plot coordinates for 4x - 6y = 14

Solve 4x - 6y = 14 for x and also for y.

Calculate and show the solution for the slope of 4x - 6y = 14

Find x-intercept

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.

4x - 6y = 14

4x - 6(0) = 14

x1 = 3.5    y1 = 0

Find y-intercept

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.

4x - 6y = 14

4(0) - 6y = 14

y2 = -2.333    x2 = 0

Get Graph Plot Coordinates

Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 4x - 6y = 14 as follows:

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

(3.5,0) and (0,-2.333)

Find slope

The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 4x - 6y = 14

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2.333 - 0)/(0 - 3.5)

m = 0.667

hope this is correct! c:

A barrel of crude oil contains about 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil contained in 1 mile (5280 feet) of a pipeli
8_murik_8 [283]
1)volume of the  pipeline

The pipeline is a cylinder, therefore;
Volume (cylinder)=πr²h
r=radius
h=height of the cylinder

diameter=6 in*(1 ft / 12 in)=0.5 ft
raius=diameter / 2=0.5 ft / 2=0.25 ft.
height=5280 ft

Volume (pipeline)=π(0.25 ft)²(5280 ft)=330π ft³≈1036.73 ft³.


2) we calculate the number of barrel
1 mile of oil in this pipeline is 330π ft³ of oil.

1 barrel of crude------------------5.61 ft³
x----------------------------------330π ft³

x=(1 barrel*330π ft³) / 5.61 ft³=184.8 barrels

3) we calculate the price.

1 barrel---------------$100
184.8 barrels----------  x

x=(184.8 barrels * $100) / 1 barrel=$18,480

Solution: ≈$18,480

Four times a first number decreased by a second number is - 14. The first
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

f = -5, s = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

F= first number

S= second number

4f - s = -14

f + 3s = -23

3(4f - s = -14)

12f - 3s = -42

+ f + 3s = -23

13f = -65

————

13

f = -5

4f - s = -14

4(-5) - s = -14

-20 - s = -14

+20 +20

-s = 6

———

-1

s = -6
