Beverly just filled up her gas tank, which has enough gas to last her, at her usual driving rate, about 45 days. However, Beverly becomes extra busy and begins driving 66.6% more than she usually does. How many days does the tank of gas last Beverly at her new rate?

27 Days

Step-by-step explanation

The rate of her gas consumption is inverse to the time she is driving. This means that if her time spent driving is increased by 66.66% (5/3 of the original rate), then it would inverse to create her decreased gas consumption by 3/5.

3/5 of 45 = 27

27 days

hope this helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
