Preliminary Problem
Givens
Miles = m = 392 miles
Gallons = G = 14 gallons
Miles per gallon = mpg
Formula
miles = miles per gallon * number of gallons.
Solve
392 = mpg * 14 Divide by 14
392 / 14 = mpg
28 = mpg which is really quite good. Our vehicle gets 44 mpg but it's a 4 cylinder. It's meant to get that kind of milage.
Part A
Let x = the number of gallons used
Let y = the number of miles driven
y = k*x
Part B
y = k* x
k =28 mpg
11700 = 28*x
11700 /28 = x
x = 417.86
If this is incorrect please put some more facts in. The question does not seem complete.
Answer:1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
X= 4y+4/3yz this is they solution
Let be be Beth, bi be Bill, and e be edie. Then:
1/be + 1/bi +1/e=1/12
1/bi + 1/e=1/15
10/be +10/bi +10/e+5/be+5/bi=1
Solve for be, bi, and e
