Answer:
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say M is the original number of men and W is the original number of women.
M / W = 3 / 5
(M+2) / (W+1) = 2 / 3
Let's cross multiply both equations:
5M = 3W
3(M+2) = 2(W+1)
Let's simplify the second equation:
3M + 6 = 2W + 2
3M + 4 = 2W
From the first equation:
M = 3/5 W
Substitute:
3 (3/5 W) + 4 = 2W
9/5 W + 4 = 2W
4 = 1/5 W
W = 20
There were originally 20 women.
Let's check our answer. That would mean that M = 3/5 W = 12.
After 2 men walk in and 1 woman, W = 21 and M = 14, so 14/21 = 2/3. Looks like the answer is correct!
Answer C.
Answer:
- 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you first change the fractions numbers in to decimal form
so; 2/5 = 0.4
-7/8 = - 0.875
hence; 0.4 + (-0.875)
= - 0.475
in to its simplest form = - 0.5
the answer is - 0.5
Entire distance = 1,320
Entire time = 5 hours
bus avg = 40 km/h
plane avg = 600 km/h
Working this by trial and error
1 hour bus 4 hour plane = 40 + 2,400 = 2,800 distance (too high)
2 hour bus 3 hour plane = 80 + 1,800 = 1,880 distance (too high)
3 hour bus 2 hour plane = 120 + 1,200 = 1,320 distance (Correct!!)
So, they traveled 3 hours by bus and 2 hours by plane
(yes, you had the right answer).
