Someone already got the answer, I think but here's an explanation on how to get it ig?

Get the miles traveled from the trip odometer, or subtract the original odometer reading from the new one.

Divide the miles traveled by the amount of gallons it took to refill the tank. The result will be your car's average miles per gallon yield for that driving period.

Answer:

40 mpg

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate which is 1/8 we just divide 15 by 3 which is 5 and to find the mpg of the full gallon now that we have the unit rate we just multiply the 1/8 or 5 miles by 8 which would give us 8/8 or 40 miles.

12. A circle has a center at C(2,5) and a point on the circle has coordinates A(8, 13). Could the point B lie on

marishachu [46]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is defined as a figure in which all points are equidistant from the center, or C. In order to determine how far points A and B are from the center, we must first find the difference in positioning from (2,5) to each point and then use Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse. Point A establishes that the radius of the circle must be 10 units, and Point Bis only about 8 units away.

What is the difference between gcf (greatest common factor) and lcm (least common multiple)?

WARRIOR [948]
