Answer: a) \frac{24}{5}t gallons are needed to travel 8 miles

b) Town X and town Y are 15 miles apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Gasoline used to travel 5 miles = 3t gallons

a) To find: Gasoline used to travel 8 miles = ?

Using unitary method:

If Gasoline used to travel 5 miles = 3t gallons

Thus Gasoline used to travel 8 miles = \frac{3t}{5}\times 8=\frac{24}{5}t gallons

\frac{24}{5}t gallons are needed to travel 8 miles

b) when 3t gallons of gasoline are used , distance covered = 5 miles

Thus when 9t gallons of gasoline are used , distance covered = \frac{5}{3t}\times 9t=15 miles

Thus town X and town Y are 15 miles apart.

A camper attaches a rope from the top of her tent, 4 feet above the ground, to give it more support. If the rope is 8 feet long,
irina [24]
Using the Pythagorean theorem  4 would be the height and 8 would be the hypotenuse, you need to find the base

4^2 + X^2 = 8^2

16 x x^2 = 64

x^2 = 64-16
x^2 = 48

x = sqrt(48) = 6.92 feet ( round answer as needed )

Larry mixed 15 grams of salt with 210 grams of a 5% salt solution in water. What is the percent of salt in his new solution?
Olegator [25]
When the concentration of a solution is expressed in weight percentages, that is just equal to the mass of solute over the mass of the total solution. For a solution weighing 210 grams, 5% of it is salt. That is equal to

210*0.05= 10.5 g salt

The rest of the amount, determined by difference, is the amount of solvent which is water.

water = 210-10.5 = 199.5 g salt

To solve for the new concentration, you add up 15 g to the already existing 10.5 g of salt in the solution. The water, on the other hand, remains constant. 

Concentration = (15+10.5)/(210+15) = 0.1133 or 11.33%

Tony is 4 years younger than his brother josh and two years older than his sister Cindy. Tony also has a twin brother, Evan. All
Sholpan [36]

Let Tony's age = x

He is 4 years younger than his brother Josh, so Josh's age would be x + 4

He is 2 years older than his sister, so her age would be x - 2

He has a twin, which would be the same age, so the twins age is also x

They all add together to equal 66, so you get:

x  + x + x+4 + x-2 = 66

Simplify:

4x +2 = 66

Subtract 2 from both sides:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64/4 = 16

Tony is 16 years old.
