Answer: an altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 full to 3/4 full.
Let's change 3/4 to the equivalent fraction 6/8 so that the denominators are the same. (3/4 = 6/8)
So 15 gallons of gas brought it from 1/8 to 6/8 Those 15 gallons must be 5/8 of the tank's capacity 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
So 15 is 5/8 of what number? (This will tell us the capacity of the whole tank)
15 = 5/8n
Divide both sides by 5/8 (remembering to multiply by the reciprocal 8/5)
15 ÷ 5/8 = 15 x 8/5 = 18
So the tank holds 24 gallons and (since it is 3/4 full or has 18 gallons) it needs 6 gallons to fill the tank.
Check - at first 1/8 full (1/8 of 24 = 3) So we started with 3 gallons. 15 gallons added to the 3 gallons is 18 gallons. Now the tank is 6/8 (3/4 full). The remaining 1/4 (2/8) of a tank is the difference between 18 and it's capacity (24 gallons) so it will need 6 gallons to fill it up..
78 rounded to the nearest tenth is 80
Answer:
d = 234.6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You can consider a system of coordinates with its origin at the beginning of the walk of the student.
When she start to walk, she is at (0,0)m. After her first walk, her coordinates are calculated by using the information about the incline and the distance that she traveled:

she is at the coordinates (52.97 , 28.16)m.
Next, when she walks 180m to the east, her coordinates are:
(52.97+180 , 28.16)m = (232.97 , 28.16)m
To calculate the distance from the final point of the student to the starting point you use the Pythagoras generalization for the distance between two points:

The displacement of the student on her complete trajectory was of 234.6m
