A car with 15 gallons of gasoline drives 420 miles until the tank is empty. Write a linear equation that describes the amount of gas left in the car, y, after driving x miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The car uses 15 gallons of gasoline to drive 420 miles.

(15 gal)/(420 mi) = 1/28 gal/mi

The car uses 1/28 gallon of gasoline per mile.

y = mx + b

When x = 0, at the start of the drive, the car has 15 gallons of gasoline.

y = mx + 15

Then for every mile it travels, the amount  of gasoline goes down by 1/28 gal. For x miles of travel, it uses 1/28 * x gallons of gasoline.

50 min

step-by-step explanation:

they will be decreasing both their times in half

60 / 2 = 30

40/2 = 20

30 + 20 = 50

step-by-step explanation:

a cube has 6 sides

the probability of getting 5 on the first cube is 1/6 since only one side of the cube has 5 on it.

there are 3 sides of the cube with even number on it [2,4,6]

therefore the probability of getting even number is 3/6

for both events to happen together, the probability would be

1/6 x 3/6 = 12/36

which simplifies to 1/12
