Answer:

<u>40 miles in 60 minutes</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hour has 60 minutes, and since the freight train travels 1 mile in 1.5 minutes, it can be said that the train travels 2 miles in 3 minutes (assuming a constant rate). This becomes a problem of equal ratios:

\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{60} , <em>where the numerator refers to distance, and the denominator refers to the time</em>

After cross multiplication, we find that 3x = 120, or x = 40.

Therefore, it takes 1 hour for the train to travel <u>40 miles</u>

Answer:

The number of miles will the train travel in 1 hour is 40 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A freight train travels 1 mile in 1 minute 30 seconds.

Find:

The number of miles that the train will travel in 1 hour

Step 1 of 1

One minute 30 seconds is $\frac{3}{2}$ minutes, so the train's speed is

$$\begin{aligned}\text { spced } &=\frac{1 \text { miles }}{\frac{3}{2} \text { minutes }} \\&=\frac{2}{3} \frac{\text { miles }}{\text { minute }}\end{aligned}$$

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the distance traveled in 60 minutes is distance =(60$ minutes $) \cdot\left(\frac{2}{3} \frac{\text { miles }}{\text { minute }}\right)$

                  =40 miles.

Jason purchased three different sizes of candy at the store. The
Ivan

Answer: $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the small candy be represented by x.

The medium candy was twice as expensive as the small candy. This will be: = 2×x = 2x

The large candy was $5 more than the medium candy. This will be: = 2x + 5

Since Jason spent a total of $30 on

candy, the cost of the small candy will be:

x + 2x + 2x + 5 = 30

5x + 5 = 30

5x = 30 - 5

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x= 5

The small candy cost $5
