BOATING Dedra's boat used 5 gallons of gasoline in 4 hours. At this rate, how many gallons of gasoline will the boat use in 10 hours?

The number of gallons of gasoline that the boat will use in 10 hours is 12.5 gallons

If Dedra's boat used 5 gallons of gasoline in 4 hours, this is expressed as:

5 gallons = 4 hours

In order to know the number of gallons needed in 10 hours, this is expressed as:

x = 10 hours

Divide both expressions:

5/x = 4/10

4x = 50

x = 50/4

x = 12.5 gallons

Hence the number of gallons of gasoline that the boat will use in 10 hours is 12.5 gallons

idk man good luck man

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
