Answer:

The answer to your question is: 30 miles can the car travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

gasoline used = 11 1/2 gal

distance = 345 mile-trip

distance travel with 1 gal = ?

Process

Convert 11 1/2 to a improper fraction    11 1/2 = 23/2

Rule of three

                            23/2 gal -----------------------  345 miles

                              1 gal      ----------------------   x

                          x = (1 x 345) / 23/2

                          x = 345 / 23/2

                          x = 690/ 23

                          x = 30 miles

James is solving a number puzzle that involves three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer. The product of a and
m_a_m_a [10]

Given:

Three integers, a, b, and c, where c is a positive integer.

The product of a and b is 6.

The product of a and c is -4.

The product of b and c is -6.

To find:

The values of a,b and c.

Solution:

According to the given information:

ab=6        ...(i)

ac=-4       ...(ii)

bc=-6      ...(iii)

From (ii), we get

a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}          ...(iv)

From (iii), we get

b=-\dfrsc{6}{c}         ...(v)

Putting a=-\dfrsc{4}{c}  and b=-\dfrsc{6}{c} in (i), we get

\dfrac{-4}{c}\times \dfrac{-6}{c}=6

\dfrac{24}{c^2}=6

\dfrac{24}{6}=c^2

4=c^2

Taking square root on both sides, we get

\pm \sqrt{4}=c

\pm 2=c

It is given that c is a positive integer. So, it cannot be negative and the only value of c is c=2.

Putting c=2 in (iv), we get

a=-\dfrsc{4}{2}

a=-2

Putting c=2 in (v), we get

b=-\dfrsc{6}{2}

b=-3

Therefore, the values of a,b,c are a=-2,b=-3,c=2.

What is the relationship between the two constants of proportionality?
DIA [1.3K]
We call the ratio between two directly proportional quantities the constant of proportionality. When two quantities are directly proportional, they increase and decrease at the same rate. While these two quantities may increase or decrease, the constant of proportionality always remains the same.
