Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many gallons the van needs to travel 550 miles you should multiply the number of miles by the relationship between the number of gallons of gas it needs to travel 220 miles, (it is important to put the quantity in miles on the denominator) as follows:

$550miles*\frac{10gallons}{220miles}=25$

Therefore the van needs 25 gallons of gas to travel 550 miles

The van will need 25 gallons of gas for it to travel 550 miles. This is calculated by dividing 10 gallons to 220 miles to get the miles per gallons, which in this case is 22 miles per gallon. Then we have to divide 550 miles by 22 miles per gallon to get the total gas consumption, which is 25 gallons.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The fish will be at a distance of 5 3/4 ft from the water surface at 4:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find a rational number that represents the position of the Fish at 4pm

Initially it was at a depth of 2 1/2 ft below the water surface

At 4pm, it went 3 1/4 ft further

Thus, its position with respect to the water surface at 4 pm will be;

2 1/2 + 3 1/4

= 5/2 + 13/4 = (10 + 13)/4 = 23/4 = 5 3/4 ft

What is the slope ? Please help

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, this is a fairly simple question.

First, you want to pick two pairs of coordinates (X,Y).

In this case, I chose (-3, 5) and (3, 1)

Now, you want to use the formula to find slope : y2-y1/x2-x1

1-5/3-(-3)

-4 divided by 6

=-2/3

Hi,

Work:

Equation;

$({ {3}^{6} })^{2} \times {3}^{0}$

Any non-zero expression raised to the power of 0 equal 1.

$({ {3}^{6} })^{2} \times 1$

Simplify by multiplying exponents.

${3}^{12} \times 1 = 3^{12} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: result$

Hope this helps.
