Maritza's car has 16 gallons of gas in the tank. she uses 3/4 of the gas. how many gallons of gas does maritza use?

12 gallons of gas does Maritza use.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

Maritza's car has 16 gallons of gas in the tank. She uses 3/4 of the gas.

⇒Total gas in her car = 16 gallons

and

She used = of the total gas

Then;

Maritza's car uses  = gallons

Therefore, 12 gallons of gas does Maritza use.

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

answer: -0.5 would be the most likley outcome
