180 is the least common multiple.
Answer: the efficiency of the first car is 25 miles per gallon.
the efficiency of the second car is 30 miles per gallon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the efficiency of the first car.
Let y represent the efficiency of the second car.
Distance = car efficiency × number of gallons.
The first car consume 25 gallons of gas and the second consumed 15 gallons of gas. The two cars Drove a combined total of 1075 miles. It means that
25x + 15y = 1075- - - - - - - - - - -1
The sum of the fuel efficiencies was 55 miles per gallon. It means that
x + y = 55
Substituting x = 55 - y into equation 1, it becomes
25(55 - y) + 15y = 1075
1375 - 25y + 15y = 1075
- 25y + 15y = 1075 - 1375
- 10y = - 300
y = - 300/-10
y = 30
x = 55 - y = 55 - 30
x = 25
Q. How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 5 m, 16 m, and 5 m?
Solution:
Here we are given with the sides of the triangle as 5m, 16m and 5.
As the Triangle inequality we know that
The sum of the length of the two sides should be greater than the length of the third side. But this inequality fails here.
Hence no triangle can be made.
So the correct option is None.
Q.How many triangles can be constructed with sides measuring 6 cm, 2 cm, and 7 cm?
Solution:
Here we are given with the sides of the triangle as 6m, 2m and 7m.
As the Triangle inequality we know that
The sum of the length of the two sides should be greater than the length of the third side. The given values follows the triangle inequality.
Hence one triangle can be formed.
So the correct option is one.
