A car can travel 476 miles on 14 gallons of gas. Write a proportion relating the distance to the number of gallons. How many miles can the car travel on 17 gallons?

578 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to first calculate how many miles the car can travel on a single gallon of gas. To do this we simply divide the 476 miles that the car travelled by the 14 gallons it used to do so.

476 miles / 14 gallons = 34 miles per gallon

Now, we can see that car can travel 34 miles for every gallon of gas it uses. Therefore, in order to calculate the distance, it can travel on 17 gallons, we simply multiply 34 miles by the 17 gallons we will use like so...

34 miles * 17 gallons = 578 miles

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
