Jamaica is considering buying either a car which goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas, or a truck that goes 10 miles on a gallon of

gas. If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, how much less would it cost to drive the car each month than it would to drive the truck?

Answer: if he drives the car each month, he would spend $150 lesser than when he drives the truck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car goes 25 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/25 = 40 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a car, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 40 = $100

The truck goes 10 miles on 1 gallon of gas. Jamaica drives 1000 miles per month, it means that the number of gallons of gas that he would use in a month is

1000/10 = 100 gallons of gas

If gasoline costs $2.50 per gallon and Jamaica chooses to buy a truck, the cost of gas per month would be

2.5 × 100 = $250

The difference between both costs is

250 - 100 = $150

Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD. [Hint: the diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two triangles.]
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

B) 28.53 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal AD divides the quadrilateral in two triangles:

  1. Triangle ABD
  2. Triangle ACD

Area of Quadrilateral will be equal to the sum of Areas of both triangles.

i.e.

Area of ABCD = Area of ABD + Area of ACD

Area of Triangle ABD:

Area of a triangle is given as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height

Base = AB = 2.89

Height = AD = 8.6

Using these values, we get:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.89 \times 8.6 = 12.43

Thus, Area of Triangle ABD is 12.43 square units

Area of Triangle ACD:

Base = AC = 4.3

Height = CD = 7.58

Using the values in formula of area, we get:

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 4.3 \times 7.58 = 16.30

Thus, Area of Triangle ACD is 16.30 square units

Area of Quadrilateral ABCD:

The Area of the quadrilateral will be = 12.43 + 16.30 = 28.73 units²

None of the option gives the exact answer, however, option B gives the closest most answer. So I'll go with option B) 28.53 unit²

What is 1+4=5 2+5=12 3+6=21 what does 8 plus 11 equal
Paladinen [302]
This is a classic math problem, and it is not solved in a normal way.

<span>1+4=5
2+5=12
3+6=21
8+11=?

There is a pattern that can be spotted. 2+5 does not equal twelve, however 2*(2+5) does equal 12. Below is how to solve the rest of the equations:

</span>1+4=5 -> 1*(4+1)=5
2+5=12 -> 2*(5+1)=12
3+6=21 -> <span>3*(6+1)=21 </span>
8+11=? -> <span>8*(11+1)=96 
</span>
This is one way to answer the problem, HOWEVER there is another way to answer the problem that gives the SAME answer, but many people mistakenly believes it gives a different answer. If anyone tries to post the other way of doing this problem, but tells you the answer is 40, please comment on this post or message me and let me know. I will explain why the answer is actually 96 either way.
