Diego's family truck holds 21 gallons of fuel. Each day the car uses 1.5 gallons of fuel. A warning light comes on when the rema

ining fuel is 2.5 gallons or less. Starting from a full tank, can Diego's family drive the car for 10 days without the warning light coming on? Explain or show your reasoning. Starting from a full tank, can Diego's family drive the car for 15 days without the warning light coming on? Explain or show your reasoning. Diego says the expression 21 - 1.5t helps him understand this situation. In this situation, what does this expression represent, and what does the variable t stand for? Write and solve an equation to determine the number of days Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of days driven without the warning light coming on. Explain clearly what the solution to the inequality means in the context of this situation

Answer:

The inequality is 0.6x < 12.5

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

14 gallons-1.5 gallons=12.5 gallons    

we know that  

If the remaining fuel is greater than  1.5 gallons Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on    

so  

Let  

x ----> the number of days

0.6x < 12.5 inequality that represent the situation  

Solve for x

x < 12.5/0.6

x < 20.8 days

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days

Suppose you are given a parabola with two points that have the same y-value, such as (-7, 11) and (3, 11). Explain how to find t
Hoochie [10]

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

<h3>How to derive the equation of the axis of symmetry </h3>

In this question we know the locations of two points with the same y-value, which means that the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and that both points are equidistant. Thus, the axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the line segment whose ends are those points.

First, calculate the coordinates of the midpoint by the midpoint formula:

M(x, y) = 0.5 · (- 7, 11) + 0.5 · (3, 11)

M(x, y) = (- 2, 11)

Second, look for the first coordinate of the midpoint and derive the equation of the line associated with the axis of symmetry:

x = - 2

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

A triangular courtyard has a perimeter of 120 meters. The lengths of two sides are 30 meters and 50 meters. How long is the thir
Masja [62]

Answer:

the third side is 40 m long

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its three sides, and they give you what that value in meters is (120 m)

Your are given the length of two of them: 30 m and 50 m, and need to find the third one (let's call it "x" for this unknown side)

Now set the following equation:

Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3   --> replace these with the info you know

120 m = 30 m + 50 m + x   --> add 30 m and 50 m obtaining 80 m

120 m = 80 m + x  --> now solve for x (isolate the x on one side) by subtracting 80 m from both sides

120 m - 80 m = x  --> perform the subtraction 120 m - 80 m = 40 m

40 m = x

Which tells us that the third unknown side has a length of 40 m

Can someone plz help me i will thank u so much
klemol [59]

Answer:

2 hours and 29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

if you change 9 hours to minutes you get 540 plus 17 equals 557. if you turn 6 hours to minutes it's 360 plus 48 equals 408. 557 minus 408 equals 149 minutes. Now if you convert it to hours and minutes you need to divide by 60. So if you divide it you get 2 hours and 29 minutes. hope this helped! :)

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
You multiply it with the same number you use for the denominator.
in this case 3/4 and 7/10
you find the LCM of the denominator is 20
so for 4 to become 20 you multiply by 5 then for the numerator 3 also multiply by 5, so you get 15/20
its the same also with 7/10, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get 14/20
hope it help... :)
