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

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C. Rewrite this equation in slope-slope-intercept form. What is the slope? W
myrzilka [38]
Standard form is Ax + By = C, or By = C - Ax.

Dividing both sides by B, we get y = C/B - (A/B)x

Here the y intercept is C/B, and the slope is -A/B.

Solve 3^2x-5=81<br> Please show work
Strike441 [17]
Let's solve your equation step by step
(3^2)(x)-5=81
step 1:simplify both sides of the equation
(3^2)(x)-5=81
simplify.
9x-5=81
step 2:Add 5 to both sides.
9x-5+5=81+5
9x=86
divide both sides by 9.
9x/9=86/9
x=86/9
Answer:86/9

Hope this helps!

A researcher testing seed varieties for tulips got a confidence interval of (14.2%,17.4%) for the percent of seeds that can grow
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The sample proportion is 0.158.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a confidence interval of proportions, we have the lower bound and the upper bound of the interval. The sample proportion is the halfway points between these bounds, that is, the sum of these bounds divided by 2.

In this problem, we have that:

Lower bound: 0.142

Upper bound: 0.174

Sample proportion: (0.142+0.174)/2 = 0.158

The sample proportion is 0.158.
