Suppose s and h are the mileage numbers for the SUV and Hybrid, respectively. Then if each vehicle drives 1 mile, the total gas consumption is
.. 1/s +1/h
Then the combined mileage is
.. 2/(1/s +1/h) = 2sh/(s+h)
Option 1: s=12, h=60
.. mpg = 2*12*60/(12+60) = 20
Option 2: s=11, h=75
.. mpg = 2*11*75/(11 +75) = 1650/86 ≈ 19.2
In summary,
.. Option 1: 20.0 mpg
.. Option 2: 19.2 mpg
_____
It usually works out best to increase the efficiency of the least-efficient contributor, as here.
It should be d. , Because if you take the equation 3x+y=9, and make it slope intercept form, it would be y= -3x+9. -3 is the slope, and 9 is the y intercept. D is the answer.
Answer:
B. (0,5). Hope this helps you
Any linear equation can be written as
y = mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.
b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.
The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.
Answer:
since 5.46 is equal to 5.5...
I think the answer is the first one
