Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

1 foot = 12 inches

1 2/3 feet = x inches

We cross multiply

1 foot × x inches = 1 2/3 feet × 12 inches

x inches = 1 2/3 feet × 12 inches/1 foot

x inches = 5/3 × 12 inches

x inches = 20 inches

A tree grows 5 inches each year. How many years will it take for the tree to be 1 2/3 feet tall = 20 inches

This is calculated as

5 inches = 1 year

20 inches = x year

Cross Multiply

5x = 20 inches × 1 year

x = 20/5

x = 4 years

It would take the tree 4 years to be 1 2/3 feet tall

Answer:

Solution → (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Input-output values table for equation (1),

2x + y = 3

x          -1          0         1         2          

y          5          3         1         -1

Input-output values table for equation (2),

y = x - 3

x         -1          0         1         2  

y         -4        -3        -2        -1

Now plot these points to get the graphs of both the equations.

Common point (2, -1) of both the lines will be the solution of the system of equations.

You have recorded your car mileage and gasoline use for 5 weeks. Estimate the number of miles you can drive on a full 15-gallon
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

325 miles to the nearest mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average  gasoline consumption over the 5 weeks

= miles travelled / gasoline used

= (198 + 115 + 154 + 160 + 132) / (9 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 6)

= 21.69 miles per gallon.

Estimate of number of miles you can drive on 15 gallons

= 15 * 21.69

= 325 miles.
