Answer:

B. 15 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't need an exact answer, so we estimate

To do this, we round

41 is a tens number, so I'm going to round to the nearest 10

40

612.9 is a hundreds number, so I'm rounding to the nearest hundred

600

for EACH gallon, the car drives(roughly) 40 miles. If I have driven(roughly) 600 miles, that means I have used 600/40=15 gallons

An experimental population of fruit flies increases according to the law of exponential growth. There were 60 flies after the 2n
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

There were 10 flies originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;

V = I(1+r)^d

where V is the number of flies on a particular day

I is the initial number of flies

r is the constant increase in percentage

and d is the number of days.

So we have for the second day;

60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)

For the fourth day, we have;

360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)

divide equation ii by i; we have;

360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2

6 = (1+r)^2

(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2

1 + r = √6

r = √6 - 1

So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies

Let’s use equation 1

60 = I(1 + r)^2

60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2

60 = I(√6)^2

60 = 6I

I = 60/6

I = 10 flies

Which of the following equations could be the result of using the comparison method to solve the system shown?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

6-2y=4y+8

since you show x through y

Answer:

The result that is obtained on comparing the system of equations in order to get the solution to the system of equations is:

   6 -2y =4y + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a system of equations in term of variable x and y as follows:

                                x + 2y = 6 --------(1)

                           x - 4y = 8-------------(2)

From equation (1) we have the value of x in terms of y as:

                          x=6-2y

From equation (2) we have the value of x in terms of y as:

                         x=8+2y

Hence, on equation the above two values of 'x' we obtain:

                         6 - 2y = 4y + 8

Tems11 [23]

The ratio of number of fiction books to total number of books that she read   12:13.

Given :

Emily reads 24 friction books and 2 nonfiction books.

Number of fiction books she read =24

Number of nofiction boos she read = 2

Total number of books = 26

To Find :

What is the ratio of the number of fiction books she read to the total number of books that she read ?

Solution :

Total number of books that she read=24+2=26

number of fiction books she read=24

Thus ratio of number of fiction books to total number of books that she read

 ⇒  \frac{24}{26}

 ⇒  \frac{12}{13}

 ⇒ 12: 13

Hence  ratio of number of fiction books to total number of books that she read 12 : 13
