Five days a week, you carpool with 3 co-workers and take turns driving each week. It is 14 miles from your home to your office.

When you drive the carpool you must go an extra 4 miles to pick up your co-workers. If your car averages 18 miles per gallon, about how many gallons of gas should you save every 4 weeks by carpooling?

Answer:

Over four weeks of carpooling, I estimate saving 21.11 gallons of gas.

Detailed explanation:

If I drove to work alone daily, the total distance covered in four weeks would be: 2 × 14 miles × (4 weeks × 5 days) = 2 × 14 × 20 = 560 miles.

When carpooling with three colleagues, I only drive for one week out of every four.

This means during the week I drive, the total distance is: 2 × (14 miles + 4 miles extra for pickups) × 5 days = 2 × 18 × 5 = 180 miles.

Consequently, the miles driven less in four weeks equals 560 – 180 = 380 miles.

Given my car's fuel efficiency is 18 miles per gallon, the saved fuel over four weeks is 380 / 18 = 21.11 gallons.

Answer:

1) (2.2, -1.4)

2) (1.33, 1)

Detailed solution:

Question 1)

We are provided with two linear equations representing lines, and we need to find the intersection point that solves the system.

The lines given are:

Line 1 equation:

y=\frac{-7}{4}x+\frac{5}{2}

This line passes through points (0, 2.5) and (2.2, -1.4).

Line 2 equation:

y=\frac{3}{4}x-3

The second line goes through (0, -3) and (2.2, -1.4).

According to the graph and data, the solution to the system is the coordinate where both lines intersect.

The solution to a system of linear equations is the coordinate pair common to both lines, i.e., the intersection point.

Here, both lines share the point (2.2, -1.4), indicating it is their intersection and the solution.

Therefore, the solution for question 1 is (2.2, -1.4).

Question 2)

The equations given are:

y = 1.5x - 1               Equation 1

y = 1                           Equation 2

The method of substitution can be used to find the solution.

Replacing y from Equation 2 into Equation 1 gives:

1 = 1.5x - 1

Add 1 to both sides:

2 = 1.5x

Dividing both sides by 1.5 yields:

x = 2/1.5

x = 1.33

y = 1

Thus, the solution of the system is (1.33, 1).

1. A certain ceiling is made up of tiles. Every square meter of ceiling requires 10.75 tiles.
Svet_ta [12734]
Every square meter of ceiling needs 10.75 tiles. To calculate the number of tiles needed for various ceiling areas: For a ceiling area of 1, it requires 10.75 tiles. For a ceiling area of 10, it requires 10.75 × 10, which equals 107.5 tiles. For an area of 100, it needs 10.75 × 100, totaling 1075 tiles. Consequently, that represents the necessary solution.
