Answer:

About 95 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following set up:

miles / gallons = miles / gallons

We know the car can travel 38 miles on 2.4 gallons of gas.

38 miles / 2.4 gallons = miles/ gallons

We don't know how far the car can travel on 6 gallons. Therefore, we can say the car travels x miles on 6 gallons of gas.

38 miles / 2.4 gallons = x miles /6 gallons

38/2.4=x/6

We want to find x (miles for 6 gallons). Therefore, we must isolate x.

x is being divided by 6. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6.

6*(38/2.4)=(x/6)*6

6*(38/2.4)=x

6*15.8333333=x

94.9999998=x

Let's round to the nearest whole number. The 9 in the tenth place tells us to round up.

95 ≈x

x ≈95 miles

The car can travel about 95 miles on 6 gallons of gas.

5 more than 3 times a variable, x, is 23

Monica [59]

3x + 5 = 23

5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23

(you add 5 to 3x)

If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x + 5 = 23 Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5

3x = 18 Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{18}{3}$

x = 6

Geometry//// volume of a cylinder ✨✨✨✨

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

595.82 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cylinder is pi times radius squared times height. First, you take the diameter and divide it by two to get 4.25. Now do 4.25 times 4.25 and get 18.0625.

Now multiply 18.0625 by 10.5 to get 189.65625.

Now multiply that by pi (3.14) to get 595.82 (Rounded to the nearest hundreth)

Mark made a scale drawing of a soccer field, using a scale of .5 cm=1m. The actual length of the field is 110 m. What is the len

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The length of the field on the drawing is <u>55 cm</u> that is option <u>D</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mark made a scale drawing of a soccer field, using a scale of .5 cm=1 m.

The actual length of the field is 110 m.

Now, to find the length of the field on the drawing.

Let the length of the field on drawing be $x\ cm.$

As given,

Drawing of a soccer field, using a scale of 0.5 cm=1 m.

So, 0.5 cm is equivalent to 1 m.

Thus, $x\ cm$ is equivalent to 110 m.

Now, to get the length of the field on the drawing by using cross multiplication:

$\frac{0.5}{1} =\frac{x}{110}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$55=x$

$x=55\ cm$

Therefore, the length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm that is option D.
