Answer:

72 mles

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding, I'll make use of an attachment.

From the attachment,

O represents the start point

OB = 30 --- Jack

AB = 78 -- Distance between them

Required

Find OA; Jack's distance

To do this, we make use of Pythagoras theorem

AB^2 = OA^2 + OB^2

This gives:

78^2 = OA^2 + 30^2

6084 = OA^2 + 900

Subtract 900 from both sides

OA^2=  6084 - 900

OA^2=  5184

Take square roots

OA = \sqrt{5184}

OA = 72

<em>Hence, Jill drove 72 miles</em>

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea. He gives 3/7 of it to her friend. How many gallons of ice tea does Morris have left?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2 \frac{9}{28} gallons of ice tea is left with Morris

Step-by-step explanation:

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea. He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

Morris has 2 3/4 gallons of ice tea

2\frac{3}{4}= \frac{2*4+3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}

He gives 3/7 of it to her friend.

To find how many gallons of ice tea does Morris have left , we subtract 3/7 from 11/4

\frac{11}{4}- \frac{3}{7}

Make the denominators same

\frac{11*7}{4*7}- \frac{3*4}{7*4}

\frac{77}{28}- \frac{12}{28}

\frac{65}{28}

\frac{65}{28} = 2 \frac{9}{28}
