Answer:
The dimensions of the bar are width = 4.68099 feet and length = 10.06198 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
A chocolate bar has a rectangular shape, therefore it's area is given by the following formula:
area = width*length
In this case the length is 0.7 feet longer than twice the width, therefore:
length = 2*width + 0.7
Applying the second equation on the first one and using the data from the question we have:
47.1 = width*(2*width + 0.7)
47.1 = 2*width² + 0.7*width
2*width² + 0.7*width = 47.1
width² + 0.35*width = 23.55
width =
width = 4.68099 or width = -5.03099
Since the width can't be negative, it can only be 4.68099 feet.
length = 2*4.68099 + 0.7 = 10.06198 feet.
Answer:
Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.
Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.
Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.
Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces pounds of carbon.
Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.
