1 gallon=4 quarts=8 pints
1quart=2pints
2 gallons=4*2=8quarts=16pints
2 containers are 1 quart
8-2=6 quarts left
6quars=xpints
12pint=xpints
12 pint containers
So combine all the x and the Y on the left side and the coefficients on the right and then multiply the variable (x or Y) by the number needed for both. and then whichever variable you have left (x or y) will equal the coefficient and then divide by the coefficient
Equation: y = 3x
Final Answer: 3
Answer:
180 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
capacity of tank= 18.5gallons
vehicle averages 666 miles per tank.
Hence, the vehicle can travel 666 miles on 18.5 gallons
Required
The distance covered on 5 gallons
Step two:
vehicle can travel 666 miles on 18.5 gallons
the vehicle will go x miles on 5 gallons
cross multiply we have
5*666= 18.5*x
3330=18.5x
divide both sides by 18.5
x= 3330/18.5
x=180 miles
1/6=16.666666...
So it is 16.6666.... to 6(or 100)
