This can be solved by ratio and proportion. The first condition is
3 1/2 hours is to 1/3 tank of gas

The proportion relation is
3 1/2 : 1/3 :: x : 1/2

where x is the number of hours that Tanya can drive
7/2 / (1/3) = x / (1/2)
Solving for x
7/6 = x/2
x = 14/6 or 2 and 1/3 hours

Well, things like sporting events, or freak storms are measured in days, or weeks. Depends. For weather, it could be hurricanes, tornado's, or even large fires(not quite weather, but could be)

0.74y=128 what is the value of y

Bingel [31]

Y = 172.972972972...

You need to isolate the variable, y. To do this, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.74. This gives you your final answer.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

.894

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing to do is to solve for the height of the triangle, BD. That's easy. We have the length of the hypotenuse and the base, so Pythagorean's Theorem gives us that the height is 8.003255588 which rounds nicely to 8. Now you have to call on the fond memories you have of the geometric mean in right triangles to solve the rest. For the sin of x you need the hypotenuse of that smaller right triangle on the left, side AB. First let's use geometric mean to find AD. The formula for that, now that we know the height, is

$BD^2=(AD)(DC)$

Filling that in with numbers we have

$8^2=(AD)16$ and

64 = 16(AD). Solve for AD to get that AD has a length of 4. Now we know two of the three sides in that smaller triangle on the left and can solve for the hypotenuse.

$8^2+4^2=c^2$ and
