Mr. seidel filled up his 14 gallon gas tank for 29.26 dollars. what was the price per gallon.

k/18 = 17/4 what is the proportion in simply form.

29.26 / 14 = 2.09

17/4 is = to 4 1/4 s 

18+18+18+18 = 72 so k=72      if im missing anything just comment

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
