the map below shows the location of 3 houses where you had to do lawn work today. Your truck gets 8 miles per gallon of gasoline

, so you chose the shortest route from your house to the jobs and then back home, as shown below. If gas costs $1.52 per gallon, what was the total cost of the gas that you used today?

Answer:

The total cost of gas is $3.80

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to solve this, I will show you, in my opinion, the easiest way.

The only information needed from the map is the amount of miles that were traveled. Let's add up all of the miles to get the total amount that was traveled today --> 7+3+4+6= 20 total miles.

Next, we must figure out how many gallons of gas we used. Since 8 miles is equal to 1 gallon of gas, we can determine this by dividing our miles by 8 ---> 20/8 = 2.5 gallons of gas.

Finally, we must determine how much money this gas will cost. Given that one gallon of gas is worth $1.52, we can find this by multiplying our total gas with the cost of gallon per gas ---> 2.5 x $1.52 = $3.80 total. This is the final answer!

The box which measures 70cm X 36cm X 12cm is to be covered by a canvas. How many meters of canvas of width 80cm would be require
grigory [225]

Answer:

142.2 meters.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a box measures 70 cm X 36 cm X 12 cm is to be covered by a canvas.      

Let us find total surface area of box using surface area formula of cuboid.

\text{Total surface area of cuboid}=2(lb+bh+hl), where,

l = Length of cuboid,

b = Breadth of cuboid,

w = Width of cuboid.

\text{Total surface area of box}=2(70\cdot36+36\cdot 12+12\cdot 70)

\text{Total surface area of box}=2(2520+432+840)

\text{Total surface area of box}=2(3792)

\text{Total surface area of box}=7584

Therefore, the total surface area of box will be 7584 square cm.  

To find the length of canvas that will cover 150 boxes, we will divide total surface area of 150 such boxes by width of canvass as total surface area of canvas will also be the same.

\text{Width of canvas* Length of canvass}=\text{Total surface area of 150 boxes}

80\text{ cm}\times\text{ Length of canvass}=150\times 7584\text{cm}^2

\text{ Length of canvass}=\frac{150\times 7584\text{ cm}^2}{80\text{ cm}}

\text{ Length of canvass}=\frac{1137600\text{ cm}^2}{80\text{ cm}}

\text{ Length of canvass}=14220\text{ cm}

Let us convert the length of canvas into meters by dividing 14220 by 100 as 1 meter equals to 100 cm.

\text{ Length of canvass}=\frac{14220\text{ cm}}{100\frac{cm}{m}}

\text{ Length of canvass}=\frac{14220\text{ cm}}{100\frac{cm}{m}}

\text{ Length of canvass}=\frac{14220\text{ cm}}{100}\times\frac{m}{cm}

\text{ Length of canvass}=142.20\text{ m}

Therefore, 142.2 meters of canvas of width 80 cm required to cover 150 such boxes.

Which equation represents a proportional relationship that has a constant of proportionality equal to 2?
Softa [21]

you didn't give the options but  constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

the constant of proportionality is k, so k=2

y= kx becomes y=2x

so y = 2x should be the answer

According to the Rational Root Theorem, the following are potential fox) 2x2 +2x 24.roots of -4, -3, 2, 3, 4Which are actual roo
aksik [14]

Correct Answer: First Option

Explanation:

There are two ways to find the actual roots:

a) Either solve the given quadratic equation to find the actual roots

b) Or substitute the value of Possible Rational Roots one by one to find out which satisfies the given equation.

Method a is more convenient and less time consuming, so I'll be solving the given equation by factorization to find its actual roots. To find the actual roots set the given equation equal to zero and solve for x as given below:

2x^{2} +2x-24=0\\ \\ 2(x^{2} +x-12)=0\\ \\ x^{2} +x-12=0\\ \\ x^{2} +4x-3x-12=0\\ \\ x(x+4)-3(x+4)=0\\ \\ (x-3)(x+4)=0\\ \\ x-3=0, x=3\\ \\ or\\\\x+4=0, x=-4

This means the actual roots of the given equation are 3 and -4. So first option gives the correct answer.

A textbook store sold a combined total 402 of psychology and math textbooks in a week. The number of psychology textbooks sold w
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The number of textbooks of each type were sold is <u>134 math </u>and <u>268 psychology </u>books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of math and psychology textbooks sold in a week is 402.

Now, let the number of math textbooks sold be x.

And, the number of psychology textbooks be 2x.

According to question:

x+2x=402

3x=402

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

x=134

So, total number of math textbooks were 134 .

And, total number of psychology textbooks were 2x=2\times 134

                                                                                 =268.

Therefore, the number of textbooks of each type were sold is 134 math and 268 psychology books.
