An automobile went 84 miles on 6.5 gallons of gasoline. At this rate, how many gallons would be needed to travel 126 miles

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

84 ÷ 6.5 =12.9(The unit rate.)

Seeing as one gallon can get you 12.9 miles;

126÷12.9=9.7

So the answers 9.7 gallons, but if you need to round, then 10 to get a whole number.

9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

84 miles          126 miles

  =

6.5 gallons        x gallons

Using cross products

84 x = 6.5 * 126

84x=819

84x/84 = 819/84

x = 9.75

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
