3/x=5/y multiply both sides by y

3y/x=5 divide both sides by 3

y/x=5/3

3/x = 5/y

y • (3/x) = 5
3y/x = 5
(1/3) • (3y/x) = 5 • (1/3)
y/x = 5/3

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Explanation:

Given that the road trip was 136 miles;

$d=136$

The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;

$v_1=16$

The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;

$v_2=44$

She traveled for a total of 5 hours;

$t=5$

let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph

$t_1=x$

the time the traffic is clear would be;

$t_2=t-t_1=5-x$

Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;

$d=v_1t_1_{}_{}^{}+v_2t_2$

substituting the values;

$136=16x+44(5-x)$

solving for x;

$\begin{gathered} 136=16x+220-44x \\ 44x-16x=220-136 \\ 28x=84 \\ x=\frac{84}{28} \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

So;

$\begin{gathered} t_1=3\text{ hours} \\ t_2=5-x=5-3=2 \\ t_2=2\text{ hours} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours

and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.

Which of the following options best describes the function graphed below? A graph shows a curve that starts at the origin and go

Tamiku [17]

It's an increasing nonlinear. Exponential functions are graphed in basically any shape besides a line. This is an exponential function, therefore it is classified as nonlinear. By looking at the slope, from left to right, we can see that it is increasing, thus providing an answer that this is an increasing nonlinear function.

Which pair of planets exerts the strongest gravitational force, Saturn and Jupiter, or Mars and Jupiter. Explain

dsp73

Dear Noora7939, the pair of planets that exerts the strongest gravitational force is Saturn and Jupiter, since we know that both Jupiters are the same mass, we'll excuse that. Since the laws of gravity says that the bigger the mass the stronger the gravitational pull, Saturn has the stronger gravitational pull since Saturn is bigger than Mars.
