18.5 - 6 = 12.5 gallons empty

12.5 / 18.5 = 0.676

0.676 x 100 = 67.6%

Answer: 67.6%

Hank's gas tank holds 18.5 gallons. If the tank has 6 gallons of gasoline in it, what percent of the tank is empty?

<h2><u>Solution</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

Total no. of empty gallons
(18.5 - 6 = 12.5) gallons
Percent of the empty place of the tank
12.5/18.5 × 100
67.6%

<h2 /><h2><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h2>

[Therefore, 67.6% of the tank is empty]

Dario bakes a lasagna containing 2/3 pound of parmesan cheese, 5/4 pounds of ricotta cheese, and 4/3 pounds of mozzarella cheese

kap26 [50]

First, we have to figure out how much cheese we have total. Do this by adding up all of the various cheeses.

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{3} + \frac{5}{4} \\ \frac{6}{3} + 1 + \frac{1}{4} \\ 3 \frac{1}{4}$
Now to split the cheeses into sections of 1/4 pound each, we have to divide by 1/4, which is the same as multipling by 4

$3 \frac{1}{4} \times 4 = 12 + 1 = 13$

Consuela and her three friends order 2 pizzas. Consuela cuts each pizza into 8 equal slices. She saves 2 slices of pizza for her

Akimi4 [234]

Let
x--------------> the number of slices eating by Consuela and her <span>three friends

we know that
[total slices]=8*2=16 slices
</span><span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]=2
x=16-2=14 slides
</span><span>Consuela and her friends share the rest of the pizza, each eating the same number of slices---------> 14/4= 3.5 slides of pizza each (</span><span>this part is not necessary, but it is shown in a didactic way)
</span><span>
the question is
</span><span>What fraction of the 2 pizzas is left over?
</span>[slices of pizza for her older brother]/[total slices]=2/16=1/8
<span>
the answer is (1/8)

Factor completely. a^2 + 28a + 27

Tpy6a [65]

For factorisation it is necessary that you multiply the last and first values
Here we can see : we require 27a^2
SO if we multiply the answer should be 27 and if we add the answer should be 28 ....here goes !!

a^2 + 28a + 27

a^2 + 27a + 1a + 27

Here we can see : I we multiply 27 and 1 the answer will be 27a^2 but if we add 27 and 1 as shown then answer will be 28a:

a ( a + 27 ) + 1 ( a + 27 )

( a + 1 ) × (a + 27 )

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g (x)

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). For function 'f',

Slope of a linear function passing through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by,

Slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For the function 'f' given in the table,

Slope of the linear function passing through two points (-1, -5) and (0, -1) given in the table,

Slope = $\frac{-5+1}{-1-0}$

= 4

Equation of the line passing through a point (0, -1) and slope = 4 will be,

y - y' = m(x - x')

y + 1 = 4(x - 0)

y = 4x - 1

f(x) = 4x - 1

For function 'g',

Equation of the function 'g' has been given as,

g(x) = 4x + 3

By comparing this equation with the slope-intercept equation of a line,

y = mx + b

Therefore, slope of the function 'g' is,

m = 4

Since slopes of both the functions are same, linear graphs of both the functions will be parallel.

b). Equation of the function 'f' is,

f(x) = 4x - 1

y-intercept of the function = -1

Equation of function 'g',

g(x) = 4x + 3

y-intercept = 3

Therefore, function 'g' will have the greater y-intercept.
