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.

Answer:

33% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 12 students total and there are two groups of students, boys and girls, 8 girls 4 boys so we take that and convert it to a fraction which would make 2/3 girls and 1/3 boys, so that would mean that boys have a 33% chance of being selected

lesantik [10]

Answer:

t(g)= -4g + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

James is playing his favorite game at the arcade. After playing the game 3 times, he has 8 tokens remaining. He initially had 20 tokens, and the game costs the same number of tokens each time. The number tt of tokens James has is a function of gg, the number of games he plays

Solution

Let

g=No. of games James plays

t= No. of tokens James has.

Find the slope using

y=mx + b

Where,

m = Slope of line,

b = y-intercept.

Before James started playing the games, he has a total of 20 tokens.

That is, when g=0, t=20

After James played the games 3 times, he has 8 tokens left

That is, when g=3, t=8

(x,y)

(0,20) (3,8)

m=y2-y1 / x2-x1

=(8-20) / (3-0)

= -12 / 3

m= -4

Slope of the line, m= -4

y=mx + b

No. of tokens left depend on No. of games James plays

t is a function of g.

t(g)

t(g)= -4g + 20
