Answer:

After the 8th city is built there will be 28 roads between the cities

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of cities initially on the island = 7 cities

The number of roads between each 2 cities = 1 road

Therefore, we have the number of roads between the 7 cities are;

7 cities taking 2 at a time = ₇C₂

_7C_2 = \dfrac{7!}{(7 - 2)!\cdot 2!} = 21

The initial number of roads between the 7 cities = 21 roads

The number of roads, 'n' there will be after the 8th city is built is therefore;

n = _8C_2 = \dfrac{8!}{(8 - 2)!\cdot 2!} = 28

The number of roads there will be after the 8th city is built, n = 28 roads.

ch4aika [34]

miles per gallon (x) = d/g

x = 476/14 = x = 34 miles per gallon

so d/x = g

578/34 = 17 gallons are needed
