A family has two cars. the first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of 15 miles per gallon of gas. during one particular week, the two cars went a combined total of 725 miles, for a total gas consumption of 40 gallons. how many gallons were consumed by each of the two cars that week?

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The fuel efficiency of car A = 20 miles per gallon.

The fuel efficiency of car B = 15 miles per gallon.

In a week, two cars went 725 miles and consumed 40 gallons.

To find the consumption of each car in that week.

Let,

Car A consumed x gallon

Car B consumed y gallon.

According to the problem,

x+y = 40 (1)

20x+15y = 725

or, 4x+3y = 145 (2)

From (1) we get, x = 40-y

Putting the value of x in (2) we get,

4(40-y)+3y = 145

or, 160-4y+3y = 145

or, -y = 145-160

or, y = 15

From (1) we get, x = 40-15 = 25

Hence,

Car A consumes 25 gallon and car B consumes 15 gallon.

1.true 2.false? ? i think. .

step-by-step explanation:

median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population or probablity distribution from the lower half.

step-by-step explanation:

say you have 3,8,7,3,1,9,8 order them from lowest to highest

if orderd it would be 1,3,3,7,8,8,9 now you take away from the lowest and the highest until you end up in the middle.

so you would remove the 1 and 9 leaving you with 5 digits remaining

when you've reached the middle that would be your answer so in this case the answer is 7

if there were two numbers left say 7 and 5 you'd and them together so 12 then divide by 2 witch would equal 6 so the answer would be 6

good luck on that project hoped i you at all
