11/56 inches or 0.196 inches must be removed.

The pipe measures 4/7 inches but needs to be reduced to 3/8 inches.

In order to find out the inches to be removed, you must subtract the length that the pipe should be from the length that it currently is.

<em>Length to be removed = 4/7 - 3/8</em>

You need a common denominator so find the lowest common factor of both denominators:

= 56

In the shared fraction, multiply the numerator by the number you get when you divide 56 by the denominator.

= 56/7 = 8                                      8 x 4 = 32

= 56 / 8 = 7                                    7 x 3 = 21

= (32 - 21) / 56

= 11 / 56 inches

= 0.196 inches

In conclusion, 11/56 inches must be removed to get the pipe to 3/8 inches

If the fuel tank in Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, define a formula to determine the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fue
salantis [7]

Considering that the car does 50 miles per gallon, the linear function for the number of gallons of fuel in Jim's fuel tank, n, in terms of the number of miles x that Jim has driven since filling his tank is given by:

y = -0.02x + 14

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

In this problem:

  • Jim's car holds 14 gallons of fuel, hence b = 14.
  • Considering it does 50 miles per gallon, and the amount in the tank will decrease, the slope is m = -\frac{1}{50} = -0.02.

Hence, the function is:

y = -0.02x + 14
