A woman drives an SUV that gets ​13 mi/gal (mpg). Her husband drives a hybrid that gets 65 mpg. Every​ week, they travel the same number of miles. They want to improve their combined mpg. They have two options on how they can improve it.


Option​ 1: They can tune the SUV and increase its mileage by 2 mpg and keep the hybrid as it is.


Option​ 2: They can buy a new hybrid that gets 80 mpg and keep the SUV as it is.

Which option will give them a better combined​ mpg?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 1 will give a better overall mileage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The husband and wife travel the same number of miles each week.

Let's say each one travels x miles in 1 week.

Let e = fuel economy in mpg

Let v = amount of fuel in gallons

Let d = distance in miles

e = d/v

ve = d

v = d/e

Before modifying cars:

Wife:

d = x

e = 13

v = d/e = x/13

Husband:

d = x

e = 65

v = d/e = x/65

Combined fuel they both use in 1 week:

x/13 + x/65 = 5x/65 + x/65 = 6x/65 = 0.0923x

Option 1:

Wife changes to:

d = x

e = 15

v = d/e = x/15

Husband remains the same.

Combined fuel they both use in 1 week:

x/15 + x/65 = 13x/195 + 3x/195 = 16x/195 = 0.08205x

Option 2:

Husband changes to:

d = x

e = 80

v = d/e = x/80

Wife remains the same.

Combined fuel they both use in 1 week:

x/13 + x/80 = 80x/1040 + 13x/1040 = 93x/1040 = 0.08942x

The total fuel used in 1 week by both in terms of the miles, x, driven by both are:

Original case: 0.0923x

Option 1: 0.08205x

Option 2: 0.08942x

The lowest amount of fuel is 0.08205x in option 1.

Answer: Option 1 will give a better overall mileage.

Carla and Andrew have 29 puppies. Andrew has 8 more than twice Carla How many puppies does person have?

Answers

Answer:

Andrew has 22 puppies, Carla has 7 puppies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

Carla and Andrew have 29 puppies.

C + A = 29

Andrew has 8 more than twice Carla.

A = 2C + 8

Let's use substitution by plugging A into C + A = 29.

A = 2C + 8 & C + A = 29

C + (2C + 8) = 29

Now, let's combine like terms.

3C + 8 = 29

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3C = 21

Divide both sides by 3.

C = 7

Carla has 7 puppies. Plug in this value back into C + A to find how many puppies Andrew has.

C + A = 29

7 + A = 29

A = 22

Andrew has 22 puppies.

Let's check our work. Plug in Andrew and Carla's number of puppies back into our original equations.

C + A = 29

7 + 22 = 29

29 = 29

Correct!

A = 2C + 8

22 = 2(7) + 8

22 = 14 + 8

22 = 22

Your answer is correct!

Hope this helps!

if the area of rectangle is 96 CM if breadth is 8 then find length​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle area formula is : Width* Length = Area

So:

8cm*L = 96cm

L = 96cm/8cm

L = 12cm

Formula of Area of a rectangle : l×b

96=l×8

l= 96/8

l= 12

Answer : The length of the rectangle mentioned above is 12 cm.

Work out the area of the triangle. 13m 12m and 5m​

Answers

Answer:

30m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a triangle, you need to ensure that the triangle is a right-angled triangle. We can use the Pythagoras Theorem to help us prove that.

a² + b² = c²

5² + 12² = 169

13² = 169

By converse of Pythagoras Theorem, the triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Thus, you can directly find the area of the triangle using the formula: base × height ÷ 2.

Area = 12 × 5 ÷ 2

        = 30m²

the height of the rectangular box is 4 times its width, and its length is 2 in more than its width. the volume of the box is 60in^3

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

height= 4b

length = 2 + b

volume = 60in³

or, l ×b × h = 60in³

or, (2+b) × b × 4b = 60in³

or, 4b²(2+b) = 60in³

or, 8b² + 4b³ = 60

or, 2b² + b³ = 15

or, b³ + 2b² -15= 0

b= 1.95

l= 2+1.95=3.95

h= 4×1.95 = 7.8

How would you graph a line through the point (-2, -5), with a slope of 2/7? Be specific.

Answers

First, you would plot the point (-2,-5). The next part requires an understanding of what slope is. My teacher told me slope was "rise over run." Basically, the numerator is how much the value of y increases when x increases by the number that's in the denominator. What that means is, when you add 7 to the x value, you add 2 to the y value. You can use this to find another point to graph.

(-2+7,-5+2)

=(5,3)

You can plot this point and draw a line through both points, and you're finished.

Another thing could do is draw a slope triangle. Draw a line (segment) from (-2,-5) for 7 units in the direction of the x-axis. Draw a line (again, a segment, really. We have to be technical xD) from where that segment ends for 2 units in the direction of the y-axis. Plot a point where that ends, and it should be (5,3). Draw a line through (5,3) and (-2,5), and you're done.
