You ride your bike to your friend's house after school. to get there, you bike due south for 6 miles and then due east for 4.5 miles. to get home, you take a shortcut that is a diagonal path. what is the distance of the diagonal path? round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

the answer is 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
