We know that, in the US, the average mile per gallon was 25 mpg in 2015. Since we don't have the mile per gallon of the car in our problem, we are going to use that average.
For our first situation, <span>drive 0.3 miles to fill up for $3.59 per gallon:
</span>




<span>We just proved that in our trip, we used 0.012 gallon, and at $3.59 per gallon; we will pay (0.012)(3.59)=$0.04 for that gasoline.
For our second situation, </span><span>drive 1.2 miles to fill up for $3.41 per gallon:
</span>




We just proved that in our trip, we used 0.048 gallon, and at $3.41 per gallon; we will pay (0.048)(3.41)=$0.16 for that gasoline.
We can conclude that is much better to drive 0.3 miles to fill up for $3.59 per gallon than drive <span>1.2 miles to fill up for $3.41 per gallon.</span>
Answer:
2 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
time = distance / speed
Let c represent the rate of the current. Then the upstream rate of the boat relative to the shore is (5c -c) = 4c, and the <em>upstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(4c) = 3/c.
Likewise, the downstream rate is (5c +c) = 6c, and the <em>downstream time</em> is ...
... 12/(6c) = 2/c.
The <em>total time</em> is the sum of upstream and downstream times:
... 3/c +2/c = 2.5
... 5/c = 2.5 . . . . . . combine terms
... 5/2.5 = c = 2 . . . multiply by c/2.5
Answer:
= 4x - 56

Answer:
845
Step-by-step explanation:
Because they are similar triangles you can find the scale factor first.
395/553 is the scale factor
(395/553)*280=200
(395/553)*350=250
200+250+395 = 845
Jk=8x+6
J=(8x+6)/k
kL=6x+20
L=(6x+20)/k
JL=(8x+6)/k * (6x+20)/k
=(48x²+196x+120)/k²
