Your number would be 10 and the exponet would be 6
Answer: 4 1/3 or 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 91 1/6 gallons
b) 2502 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...
(261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal
We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:
a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)
Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get
1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal
It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.
___
b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.
(miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)
Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...
(18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi
139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
<span>So rather than think about how to find the whole numbers, let's try to find the two perfect squares nearest to 38. There is one greater than it and one smaller than it. The square root will lie between the squared value of each. (e.g. 64 is the perfect square, 8 is the squared value i refer to)
</span><span>
6 ,7. 6squared is 36 and 7 squared is 42
therefore 38 lies between these two numbers</span>
It would be 15 because the way you would set it up is equal to 180 because they are opposite and they have to add up to 180 in order for the whole shape to be 360. so 3x+9x=180 and then 12x=180 and divide 180 by 12 which is 15 and you can also plug in 15 to check
