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.

Isosceles triangle with one angle of 100. What would most likely be the other angles?
sveta [45]
Isoceles triangles have one pair of congruent base angles opposite their congruent sides. Also, the angles in a triangle add up to 180°. Therefore, we can set up this equation:

100 + x + x = 180

(we know it's not the 100° angle that has a congruent match because that would cause the total angle measure to go above 180°)

100 + 2x = 180
Subtract 100 from each side.
2x = 80
Divide by 2.
x = 40°

Both of the other angles would be 40°.

Danny Henry made a waffle on his six-inch-diameter circular griddle using batter containing a half a cup of flour. Using the sam
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

He'll need 288 cups to make a waffle on his 24 foot diameter circular griddle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out how much batter Danny needs we first need to compute the area of the first pans, since it is a circular pan their area is given by A = 2*pi*r. So we have:

Area of the first pan = 2*pi*(6/2) = 18.84 square inches

Area of the second pan = 2*pi*(24/2) = 75.36 square foots

We now need to convert these values to be in the same unit, we'll convert from square foots to square inches:

Area of the second pan = 75.36 * (12)^2 = 10851.84 square inches

We can now use a proportion knowing that the batter and the thickness of the waffles are the same. If 0.5 cup of flour can make a waffle on 18.84 square inches then x cup of flour can make a waffle on 10851.85 square inches. Writing this in a mathematical form, we have:

0.5/x = 18.84/10851.84

18.84x = 0.5*10851.85

x = 10851.85*0.5/18.84 =288 cups
