Hello...
Tony and his three friends live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but they all attend college in Boston, Massachusetts. Because they want to have a car at school this year, they are planning to drive Tony's car from Albuquerque to Boston at the beginning of the school year. Although they'll each pay for their own food during the road trip, the friends plan to split the costs for gas and hotels evenly between the four of them.
Estimate the total cost that each friend will have to pay for gas and hotels. Explain how you got your answer. Here are some figures that may help you out:
•Tony's car can travel 28 miles for each gallon of gas.
•The average fuel cost at the time of their trip is $3 per gallon.
•They plan to drive about 650 miles each day.
•They estimate the average cost of a hotel each night is $85.
•They will drive approximately 2,240 miles to get from Albuquerque to Boston.
Solution:
Cost of Gas:
2240 / 28 x 3 = $240
Cost of Lodging:
85 x floor2240 / 650 = $255
Cost of both: $240 +255 = $495.
The cost for a 1/4 share is $495/4 = $123.75.
Numbers 2, 4 and 5 are the correct answers.
Hope this helps!
By applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:
a. 
b. 
<em>See the image in the attachment for the referred diagram.</em>
<em />
- The two triangles, triangle AEC and triangle BDC are similar triangles.
- Therefore, the ratio of the corresponding sides of triangles AEC and BDC will be the same.
<em>This implies that</em>:
<em><u>Given:</u></em>
<u>a. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AE</u><u>:</u>
EC/DC = AE/DB
<u>b. </u><u>Find the length of </u><u>AB:</u>
AC = 6.15 cm
To find BC, use AC/BC = EC/DC.
Therefore, by applying the knowledge of similar triangles, the lengths of AE and AB are:
a.
b.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you write 1 instead of y, x would be 5/8 so ratio is 1/5:8=8/5
