Since the segments inside a parallelogram bisect each other, 16 = 2y - 4 and 40 = 2x + 6
x = 17
y = 10
Hi
1.If Mrs.Walters drives 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas , she drives 14.4 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
Work; I made a proportion , but you can just divide 360 and 25 .
x=14.4 miles
If Mr.Walters drives 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas , he drives 15.06 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
x=15.06 miles
2. Mr.Walter because he drives more miles with a gallon .
Work; 15.06 miles is greater than 14.4 miles.
Hope it helps and have a wonderful day.
Answer: 2 : 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of boys = 4
Number of girls = 10
Total number of students = total number of boys + total number of girls ,that is
Total number of students = 4 + 10
= 14
Therefore , the ratio in the simplest form that compares number of boys to total number of students is given by
number of boys : total number of students , that is
4 : 14
which will be
2 : 7 in the simplest form
