Answer:
About 95 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion using the following set up:
miles / gallons = miles / gallons
We know the car can travel 38 miles on 2.4 gallons of gas.
38 miles / 2.4 gallons = miles/ gallons
We don't know how far the car can travel on 6 gallons. Therefore, we can say the car travels x miles on 6 gallons of gas.
38 miles / 2.4 gallons = x miles /6 gallons
38/2.4=x/6
We want to find x (miles for 6 gallons). Therefore, we must isolate x.
x is being divided by 6. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 6.
6*(38/2.4)=(x/6)*6
6*(38/2.4)=x
6*15.8333333=x
94.9999998=x
Let's round to the nearest whole number. The 9 in the tenth place tells us to round up.
95 ≈x
x ≈95 miles
The car can travel about 95 miles on 6 gallons of gas.
Answer:
gradient m = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the gradient and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with gradient m = 3
