Answer:
Tomas is incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example : If we divide a cake into 8 pieces and a similar cake is into 4 pieces, a piece of cake taken from 4 pieces will be bigger than a piece taken from 8 pieces.
Similarly, size of 3 pieces of cake taken from 4 pieces will be bigger than the 3 pieces taken from 8 pieces.
Therefore, 
will be greater than 
.
Tomas is incorrect.
First, we are going to find the radius of the yaw mark. To do that we are going to use the formula:
where
is the length of the chord
is the middle ordinate
We know from our problem that the tires leave a yaw mark with a 52 foot chord and a middle ornate of 6 feet, so
and
. Lets replace those values in our formula:
Next, to find the minimum speed, we are going to use the formula:
where
is <span>drag factor
</span>
is the radius
We know form our problem that the drag factor is 0.2, so
. We also know from our previous calculation that the radius is
, so
. Lets replace those values in our formula:
mph
We can conclude that Mrs. Beluga's minimum speed before she applied the brakes was
13.34 miles per hour.
24 miles = 326 gallons
divide each side by 24: 1 mile = 13.583 gallons
round: 13.6 miles per gallon
