Step-by-step explanation:
The article talks about technology and how it lead to bigger cities in the past. Because we are reading about prior years, there is no need to talk about the present day.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = r * t
Let the time at 59 miles / hour be t
59*t + 57* (4.5 - t) = 259.5 Remove the brackets
59*t + 256.5 - 57*t = 259.5 Combine the left
2t + 256.5 = 259.5 Subtract 228 from both sides
2t = 259.5 - 256.5 Combine
2t = 3 Divide by 2
t = 1.5
So he spent 1.5 hours going at 59 miles per hour
He spent 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 hours going 57 miles per hour.
Answer:
There are 10 pigs and 30 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pigs be x
let the number of chickens be y
Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40
x + y = 40-----------------------(1)
We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs
4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
multiply (1) by 2
2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)
subtract (3) from (2)
4x + 2y = 100
2x + 2y = 80
----------------------------
2x = 20
----------------------------
x = 10
Now Substituting x in (1), we get
10 + y = 40
y = 40 - 10
y = 30

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.
