Answer:
Brien is incorrect because he skipped step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
25 is .0333% of 750
•25/750 = .03
750 is 3000% of 25
•3000% = 30
Answer:
12 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Total gallons = 16 gallons
Total distance = 460 miles
Fuel efficiency in the highway = 30 miles per gallon
Fuel efficiency in the city = 25 miles per gallon
Let
h = gallons of gasoline were used on the highway.
460 = 30h + 25(16 - h)
460 = 30h + 400 - 25h
460 - 400 = 30h - 25h
60 = 5h
h = 60/5
h = 12 gallons
12 gallons of gasoline were used on the highway.
Answer: The TV is 48 inches wide.
Step-by-step explanation: To find the solution to this equation we must use the Pythagorean theorem. The Py. Theo. is basically the formula :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You say this as "A squared plus b squared equals c squared"
To use this formula you must plug in the given values of a and b, to find c. A and b represent the two bases of the triangle, while c is the hypotenuse. In this equation we already have the value of c and a. We need to find b, but in order to do that we use a different formula. We use : c^2 - a^2 = b^2
See :
52^2 - 20^2 = b^2 *The ^2 means "to the power of" aka an exponent*
2704 - 400 = b^2 *When dealing with ^2, all you do is multiply the number by itself*
2304 = b^2 *Next, we find the square root of our current number.*
48 = b
*Another way to solve this equation is to memorize all the Pythagorean Triples. With that knowledge, you wont even need to use the formula because you will already know all three values. I hope this helped you understand :)
