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

La profesora de matemáticas solicita a dos estudiantes que describan las cosas que les han parecido interesantes de los números
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Respuesta D

Step-by-step explanation:

Paola afirma: Todo número compuesto par, se puede escribir como la multiplicación de factores primos.

Esta afirmación es cierta, pues es un caso  de la afirmación de que todo número natural mayor que uno se puede escribir como multiplicación de números primos. A este proceso se le llama descomposición en factores primos.

Edwin afirma: Todo número compuesto impar se puede escribir como la suma de dos números primos.

Esta afirmación es falsa. Note que al sumar dos números impares de la forma 2k+1 y 2m+1 para k distinto de m, se obtiene

2k+1+2m+1 = 2(km+1)

Es decir, la suma de dos números impares es siempre par.

Note que a excepción de 2, todo número primo es impar. Para que esta afirmación fuera cierta, necesariamente tendría que pasar que cualquier número impar k se escriba de la forma p+2 donde p es un número primo. Esto es equivalente que para cualquier número impar k, el número k-2 sea primo.

Basta con dar un ejemplo para ver que esto no pasa. Tomemos k=11. En este caso, k-2 = 9, el cuál no es un número primo. Entonces 11 no se puede  descomponer como la suma de dos números primos.
