Let 'x' represent the total distance from point A to point B
During the first hour he gets 0.25 of the way there: 0.25x
During the second hour he covers an additional 0.2 of the distance: 0.2x
During the third hour, he covers 0.3 of the distance: 0.3x
The total distance the biker traveled is:
0.25x + 0.2x + 0.3x = (0.25 + 0.2 + 0.3)x = 0.75x
The biker has: x - 0.75x = (1 - 0.75)x = 0.25x of the total distance left to go.
Volume of 1/4 gal
= Volume of 2/3 bin
Volume(x gal)
= Volume( 1 bin)
So, (1/4)/(2/3)
= x/1
(1/4)/(2/3)
= x
(1/4)/(3/2)
x = 3/8 (Total balance required to fill the entire bin)
In order to fill the bin, the additional gallons need to be added to the initial 1/4 gallon
Therefore, 3/8 - 1/4 = 1/8 gallons
Hope that helps!!!!
C I'm using the calculator and the other ones don't make sense
The y intercept and the gradient
