A = 16. How did I get this? Well, 15/24 is a reducible fraction itself. When reducing the fraction 15/24, we divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/8. Now that we have 5/8 as our simplified fraction, the expression is:

10/a = 5/8

Because 10 divided by 2 equals 5, we could multiply 8 by 2 to get what our denominator that is missing would be. 8 x 2 = 16, so a = 16. 10/16 = 15/24.

Your final answer: a = 16

Chuck and Dana agree to meet in Chicago for the weekend. Chuck travels 104 miles in the same time that Dana travels 96 miles. If
Yanka [14]

Answer: Chuck's travel at a rate of 52mph

Step-by-step explanation:

For Chuck's trip:

D=RT

104= (R+4)T

T= 104 / (R+4)

For Dana's trip:

96 = RT

T= 96/R

Set both equation for Chuck's and Dana together

104/(R+4) =96/R

Then we cross multiply

96(R+4) = 104R

96R + 384 = 104R

104R - 96R = 384

8R = 384

To get R, divide both side by 8

8R/8 = 384/8

R= 48mph

This means Dana's speed is 48mph

Chuck's speed will be: 48mph+4mph = 52mph
