Answer:

3.1 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to figure out how many gallons of gas go into 72 miles. We know 23 miles is equal to one gallon of gas, and given that the ratio of miles to gas stays the same, we can say that

miles of gas / gallons = miles of gas / gallons

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles / gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house

If we write the gallons needed to go to Bob's mother's house as g, we can say

23 miles / 1 gallon = 72 miles/g

multiply both sides by 1 gallon to remove a denominator

23 miles = 72 miles * 1 gallon /g

multiply both sides by g to remove the other denominator

23 miles * g = 72 miles * 1 gallon

divide both sides by 23 miles to isolate the g

g = 72 miles * 1 gallon/23 miles

= 72 / 23 gallons

≈ 3.1 gallons

A building is 5 feet tall. the base of the ladder is 8 feet from the building. how tall must a ladder be to reach the top of the
iris [78.8K]

The ladder must be 9.4 ft to reach the top of the building

Here, we want to get the length of the ladder that will reach the top of the building

Firstly, we need a diagrammatic representation

We have this as;

As we can see, we have a right triangle with the hypotenuse being the length of the ladder

We simply will make use of Pythagoras' theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have;

\begin{gathered} x^2=5^2+8^2 \\ x^2=\text{ 25 + 64} \\ x^2\text{ = 89} \\ x=\text{ }\sqrt[]{89} \\ x\text{ = 9.4 ft} \end{gathered}

it took Simon 33 minutes to run 5.5 miles. did he run faster or slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes how can you tell ​
vitfil [10]
Simon ran slower than 1 mile every 5 minutes.

Because 33 / 5.5 = 6. So he ran 1 mile every 6 minutes, not 5.

6. All angles in the figure below are right angles. What is the area of the figure? (1 point)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure given in the picture = Area of large rectangle - Area of rectangle A

Area of rectangle A = Length × Width

                                 = [9 - (2 + 4)] × 3

                                 = 3 × 3

                                 = 9

Area of the large rectangle = Length × Width

                                             = 9 × 5

                                             = 45

Therefore, area of the given figure = 45 - 9

                                                          = 36

Option (4) will be the correct option.
