You should divide or simplify the problem.
3/4 times 16/9 is equal to 1 1/3.
Answer:
15 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
if 6gallons = 192 miles
then x gallons 480 miles
x = (6*480)/192
x = 2880/192
x = 15 gallons
To factor quadratic equations of the form ax^2+bx+c=y, you must find two values, j and k, which satisfy two conditions.
jk=ac and j+k=b
The you replace the single linear term bx with jx and kx. Finally then you factor the first pair of terms and the second pair of terms. In this problem...
2k^2-5k-18=0
2k^2+4k-9k-18=0
2k(k+2)-9(k+2)=0
(2k-9)(k+2)=0
so k=-2 and 9/2
k=(-2, 4.5)
