3.93 is the correct answer.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
1) 28.4 miles per gallon
2) 34 miles per gallon
3) the red car
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue car:
Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline
Red car:
Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline
We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:
Blue car:
(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon
Red car:
(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon
The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline {and thats about it!}
First we need to know how many months is 2 years. To answer that we multiply the number of months in a year by 2 and get 48 months.
Every 3 months the population of turtles doubles, but to get how many times the population doubles, you need to divide 48 months by 3 to get 16.
So population of 400 will get <u>doubled</u> 16 times in the following <u>two</u> years.
We construct the following equation where 
is the final population,

Answer:
- 12 ft parallel to the river
- 6 ft perpendicular to the river
Step-by-step explanation:
The least fence is used when half the total fence is parallel to the river. That is, the shape of the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide.
72 = W(2W)
36 = W²
6 = W . . . . . . the width perpendicular to the river
12 = 2W . . . . the length parallel to the river
_____
<em>Development of this relation</em>
Let T represent the total length of the fence for some area A. Then if x is the length along the river, the width is y=(T-x)/2, and the area is ...
A = xy = x(T -x)/2
Note that the equation for area is that of a parabola with zeros at x=0 and at x=T. That is, for some fence length T, the area will be a maximum at the vertex of this parabola. That vertex is located halfway between the zeros, at ...
x = (0 +T)/2 = T/2
The corresponding area width (y) is ...
y = (T -T/2)/2 = T/4
Equivalently, the fence length T will be a minimum for some area A when x=T/2 and y=T/4. This is the result we used above.
