Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem above is related to the topic on "Equivalent Ratios." The missing term above is <em>"the number of miles that the vehicle can travel per gallon of gasoline."</em> In order to find this term, you have to use the "cross products."

Let n be the missing term.

  • 1\frac{1}{8} gallons/13\frac{1}{2} miles = \frac{1 gallon}{n}
  • \frac{9}{8} gallons/\frac{27}{2} miles = \frac{1 gallon}{n}
  • \frac{9}{8} x n = \frac{27}{2} x 1 gallon
  • n = \frac{27}{2} ÷ \frac{9}{8}
  • n = \frac{27}{2} x \frac{8}{9}
  • n = 12 miles

Therefore, the vehicle can travel 12 miles per gallon of gasoline.

AlexFokin [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

the total angles in the triangle are 180°

so,

63° + 57° + ∠2 = 180°

120° + ∠2 = 180°

∠2 = 180° - 120°

∠2 = 60°

You want to be able to withdraw $25,000 from your account each year for 20 years after you retire.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

When using formulas in application, or memorizing them for tests, it is helpful to note the similarities and differences in the formulas so you don’t mix them up. Compare the formulas for savings annuities vs payout annuities.

P0 is the balance in the account at the beginning (starting amount, or principal).

d is the regular withdrawal (the amount you take out each year, each month, etc.)

r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form. Example: 5% = 0.05)

k is the number of compounding periods in one year.

N is the number of years we plan to take withdrawals

Which of the following best describes the set of all numbers of the form a+bi where a and b are any real numbers and i equals sq
Andrei [34K]
<h3>Answer: B) Complex numbers</h3>

Complex numbers are always in the form a+bi with 'a' and 'b' as real numbers.

If b = 0 and 'a' is nonzero, then a+bi = a+0i = a which is strictly a real number

If a = 0 and b is nonzero, then a+bi = 0+bi = bi indicating that the number is now purely imaginary

15/30 = n/34 round to the nearest tenth.
avanturin [10]
The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question.
15/30 = n/34
30 * n = 15 * 34
30n = 510
n = 510/30
   = 51/3
   = 17
So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.
