Answer:

20 miles per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator

so we divide top and bottom by 20

$\frac{400 miles/20}{20 gallons/20}$ = $\frac{20 miles}{1 gallon}$ = 20 miles a gallon

Prove that root 7 is irrational by the method of contradiction

Alchen [17]

Let assume that $\sqrt7$ is a rational number. Therefore it can be expressed as a fraction $\dfrac{a}{b}$ where $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

$\sqrt7=\dfrac{a}{b}\\\\7=\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}\\\\a^2=7b^2$

This means that $a^2$ is divisible by 7, and therefore also $a$ is divisible by 7.

So, $a=7k$ where $k\in\mathbb{Z}$

$(7k)^2=7b^2\\\\49k^2=7b^2\\\\7k^2=b^2$

Analogically to $a^2=7b^2$ ------- $b^2$ is divisible by 7 and therefore so is $b$ .

But if both numbers $a$ and $b$ are divisible by 7, then $\text{gcd}(a,b)=7$ which contradicts our earlier assumption that $\text{gcd}(a,b)=1$ .

Therefore $\sqrt7$ is an irrational number.

Bus A takes 21 minutes to complete its route. bus B take's 35 minutes to complete its route. if both buses leave the station at

stealth61 [152]

To answer this question I tried to find a common multiple of 21 and 35 which I found to be 105. As they are in minutes 105 is 1 hour and 45 minutes; after this I found 1 hour 45 munutes after 7:30, I then got 9:15
9:15 is my answer
