The question is saying that the line KJ is approximately equal to the line JN and that the line JN is perpendicular to the line NL. The line labeled LKN is shorter than LNK due to the fact that the line segments in LNK are longer because JN is perpendicular to NL:)
Answer:
Car 1 : 40 miles per gallon
Car 2: 25 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
family has two cars. During one particular week, the first car consumed 15 gallons of gas. The second car consumed 25 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1475 miles and the sum of their fuel efficiency was 65 miles per gallon. What were the fuel efficiency of each of the cars that week
Given that :
Fuel efficiency , car 1 = x
Fuel efficiency , car 2 = y
x + y = 65 - - (1)
15x + 35y = 1475 - - - (2)
x = 65 - y
15(65-y) + 35y
975 - 15y + 35y = 1475
20y = 14875 - 975
20y = 500
y = 25
Put y = 25 in (1)
x + y = 65
x + 25 = 65
x = 65 - 25
x = 40
(6, 2 )
substitute x = 5 into the equation and solve for y
6y + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
6y = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
y = 
= 2
the ordered pair is (5, 2 )
Answer:
The product is 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply two fractions, first multiply the numbers on the top (numerators).
1 * 3 = 3
Then multiply the bottom numbers (denominators).
2 * 4 = 8
Now stick the first over the second.
3/8
