Berto has $12 to put gas in his car. if gas costs $3.75 per gallon, which ordered pair on the graph of the line relating number of gallons of gas, x, to the total cost of the gas, y, includes the greatest amount of gas berto can buy?

(3.2, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost for gas = $12

Cost per gallon = $3.75

Letting total cost of gas be y and number of gallons be x, maximum number of gallons of gas he can buy would be ;

Total cost of gas/ cost per gallon = 12 / 3.75 = 3.2 gallons

Therefore , the coordinate pair (x, y) = (3.2, 12)

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
