Answer:

1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the relationship is direct, meaning as the number of square feet decreases, the number of gallons also decreases.

3:900 = x:300

solution:

3(300) = 900x

900=900x

x=1

At a speed of 50 miles per hour, a certain car uses 1 gallon of gasoline every 30 miles. if the car starts with a full 12 gallon

Black_prince [1.1K]

1 gallon = 30 miles

5 hours = 250 miles
$250 \div 30 = 8 \frac{1}{3}$
Fraction of amount of gasoline used =
$\frac{ \frac{25}{3} }{12} \\ = \frac{25}{3} \times \frac{1}{12} \\ = \frac{25}{36}$
Answer is 25/36

Let a = 0.9876 and b = 0.9887 with N = 2, calculate the midpoint.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

For a=0.9876 and b=0.9887 mid point will be 0.98815

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given a = 0.9876 and b = 0.9887

And N = 2

We have to find the mid point

For finding mid point we know that formula

Midpoint $=\frac{a+b}{2}$ , here we have given a=0.9876 and b = 0.9887

So midpoint will be $=\frac{0.9876+0.9887}{2}=\frac{1.9763}{2}=0.98815$

So for a=0.9876 and b=0.9887 mid point will be 0.98815
