2 1/2 gallons of paint.

If 1/2 gallon covers 1/5 of the wall, multiply 1/2 gallon by 5 to find how much is needed to cover 5/5, or the entire wall. You get 5/2. Now, simplify. 5/2 = 2 1/2 gallons of paint.

It takes Jack Frost 5 minutes to fly 35 minutes with the wind. It takes him 7 minutes to go 35 minutes against the wind. Determi
dezoksy [38]

Answer:his speed in still air is 6 miles per minute.

the speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed in still air.

Let y represent the speed of the wind.

It takes Jack Frost 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind. This means that his total speed would be x + y

Distance = speed × time

It means that

35 = 5(x + y)

35 = 5x + 5y - - - - - - - - - - -1

It takes him 7 minutes to go 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed would be x - y

It means that

35 = 7(x - y)

35 = 7x - 7y - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes

245 = 35x + 35y

175 = 35x - 35y

Adding both equations, it becomes

420 = 70x

x = 420/70 = 6

Substituting x = 6 into equation 1, it becomes

35 = 5 × 6 + 5y

35 = 30 + 5y

5y = 35 - 30 = 5

y = 5/5 = 1

A new hybrid car has a 18-gallon gas tank. On one tank of gas, the owner can drive 540 miles. The number of miles traveled varie
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
To find the amount of miles/gallon, we have 540 miles/18 gallons=30 miles/gallon. As we add 30 miles for every gallon, the amount of miles traveled is 30*x (e.g. if x is 1 then 0+30=30 and if x is 2 then 30+30 (2 times)=60) with x being the amount of gallons. For b, we just plug 12 in for x to get 20*12=360
