Answer: 348.8 miles on 16 gallons of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the following proportion:
= 
Since the car consumes gas at the same rate and only the amount of gas is changed, these two fractions must be equivalent. If the rate at which the car consumes gas changes, it would be different.
Use basic algebraic skills and you should get 348.8 miles.
Answer:
nearest tenth= 5.4
Step-by-step explanation:
55 ÷ 10.1= 5.44554455446.
The distance between Car A and car B,When Car A crosses the start line is:
distance =speed car B* time
distance=(15 m/s)(3 s)=45 m
Distance traveled by car A =x, (when the car B is at the same distance from the start line)
time of car A=t
x=10 m/st ⇒ x=10t (1)
Distance traveled by car B=x
time of car B=t-3
x=15(t-3) (2)
With the equations (1) and (2) we make a system of equations:
x=10t
x=15(t-3)
We solve this system of equations:
10t=15(t-3)
10t=15t-45
-5t=-45
t=-45 / -5
t=9
t-3=9-3=6
x=10 t=10 (9)=90
Answer: The time would be 9 seconds for Car A and 6 seconds for car B and the distance would be 90 meters.
