Answer:

4 2/3 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Suppose a car gas tank holds 21 gallons of gas.

On a trip it uses 2/3 of a tank of gas on a trip.

= 2/3 × 21 gallons of gas

= 14 gallons of gas

Step 2

Then it uses 1/3 of what is left in the tank.

The number of gallons of gas left =

21 gallons of gas - 14 gallons of gas

= 7 gallons of gas

Hence, this is calculated as:

1/3 × 7 gallons of gas

= 2 1/3 gallons of gas

Step 3

How many gallons of gas are left in the tank?

This is calculated as:

7 gallons of gas - 2 1/3 gallons of gas

= 7/1 - 7/3

Lowest common denominator =

= 21 - 7/3

= 14/3

= 4 2/3 gallons of gas is left

Therefore, 4 2/3 gallons of gas is left.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The line 'd' separates the square into two triangles. Since the side lengths are equal, the angle is 45°. We need the line separating the two 90° angles, that I am going to define as 'z'. We can use the sine function.

\sin(45)=\frac{z}{5\sqrt{2} }

z = 5

To solve for x, we can use sine again but for the 30 degree angle.

\sin(30)=\frac{5}{x} \\x=10
