Answer:

  • 13 ft
  • 86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the length of the short piece. Then the long piece is 6s+8, and the total length is ...

  s +(6s+8) = 99

  7s = 91 . . . . . . . . subtract 8, collect terms

  s = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

  99 -13 = 86 = 6(13)+8 . . . length of long piece

The short piece is 13 feet long; the long piece is 86 feet long.

4. Sam's parents are teachers who commute 45 miles roundtrip to work 5 2 days a week. His parents spend $38 on gasoline each wee
Marat540 [252]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The correct option is d. (i) and (ii)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total miles covered per day = 45

No of commuting days in a week = 5

Total miles in a week = 45 * 5 = 225

The total amount spent on gasoline = $ 38

Cost of gasoline per gallon = $ 2.48

The number of gallons consumed per week = \frac{38}{2.48} = 15.32 gallons of gasoline per week.

This confirms (ii) statement

The amount spend on gasoline per mile = \frac{38}{225} = $0.17

This confirms (i) statement

The number of miles per gallon of gasoline = \frac{225}{15.32} = 14.68 miles

The statement (iii) is false.
