Answer:
I think you solved it my g
7 M
--- = ----
9 27
cross multiply (7*27=189) and divide (189/9=21)
M = 21
To solve this problem we can set up a proportion, letting x represent the unknown amount of cooking oil.
30 milliliters water/20 milliliters cooking oil = x milliliters water/ 50 milliliters cooking oil
30/20 = x/50
To solve this proportion, we can use cross products, also called the means extremes products theorem. This takes the products of the numerator and denominator from the separate fractions and sets them equal to one another. In this circumstance, it results in the equation:
(30)(50) = (x)(20)
When we multiply we get:
1500 = 20x
Finally, we have to divide both sides of the equation by 20 to get our variable x alone on the right side of the equation.
x = 75 milliliters
Therefore, the proportion is completed, as 30/20 = 75/50.
Answer: You need 75 milliliters of water.
For part A, The answer is that the car gets better gas mileage. We can see it from the graph that the number of gallons used is on the X axis, and the distance traveled using those number of gallons is on the Y axis. The easiest way to compare would be to look at the 1 gallon of gas. You can see that you can travel 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. The truck on the other hand will get you 18 miles per gallon. Imagine putting 1 in for X, the Y value would be 18 if you did this. The graph just shows us a visual way of saying the same thing. To determine how much farther the car with a girl on 8 gallons of gas, you would just multiply 8 by 25 for the number of miles traveled by the car. You would multiply 8 by 18 to find the number of miles traveled for the truck. The answers are 200 miles for the car and 144 miles for the truck. 200-144=56 miles farther for the car.
