A motor oil retailer needs to fill 60 one quart bottles, and he has two tanks: one that contains 12 gallons of oil and one that contains 2 gallons of oil. Which will he need to fill the bottles?

The motor oil retailer needs 15 gallons of oil, so he will have to use both tanks, and still have 1 gallon of oil short.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a motor oil retailer needs to fill 60 one quart bottles, and he has two tanks: one that contains 12 gallons of oil and one that contains 2 gallons of oil, to determine which will need to fill the bottles, the following calculation must be performed:

Quart to gallon = 4: 1

1/4 x 60 = X

60/4 = X

15 = X

Therefore, the motor oil retailer needs 15 gallons of oil, so he will have to use both tanks, and still have 1 gallon of oil short.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

the answer is b: 18

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem to .

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug 18 for "r"

the 2 legs are 18 and 24

18^2+24^2=c^2

324+576=c^2

900=c^2

c=30

30-12=18

18 is the radius
