Question

question
zahra is driving on a long road trip. she wrote an equation to represent how many gallons of gas she has left in her tank, ( g = 6.5 - 0.4h ), where ( g ) represents the number of gallons and ( h ) represents time in hours.
what is the meaning of the ( g )-value when ( h = 1 )?
answer
the number of gallons in the tank after
one hour.
the number of gallons in the tank
when the trip ends.
the number of gallons of gas initially in
the tank.
how long it takes zahra to run out of
gas.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute \( h = 1 \) into the equation

Given the equation \( g=6.5 - 0.4h \), when \( h = 1 \), we have \( g=6.5-0.4\times1 \).

Step2: Calculate the value of \( g \)

This value of \( g \) represents the number of gallons in the tank after one hour.

Answer:

The number of gallons in the tank after one hour.
