The number of apples in the basket are; 24 apples

<h3>How to simplify simultaneous equations?</h3>

Let there be X number of apples and Y number of oranges.

Thus by the given ratio we can say that;

x/y = 3/8   -----(1)

(x — 1)/y = 1/3

3x — 3 = y   ----(2)

Substitute 3x - 3 for y in eq 1 to get;

x/(3x - 3) = 3/8

8x = 9x - 9

9x - 8x = 9

x = 9

Thus;

y = 3(9) - 3

y = 24 apples

Mr. Nero drives to work each day 35 miles one way. If he were in a hurry, could he legally make it to work in less than a half h
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Nope.  It would take 32 and 4/13 minutes, which is longer than 30 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 35 miles and the speed 65 miles/hour

Dividie the distance by the speed to obtian the time required,

(35 miles)/(65 miles/hour) = 0.538 hours

No, 35 miles at the speed limit of 65 mph would require 0.538 hours, 0.038 hours more than 1/2 hour.  2 and 4/13 minutes more than 30 minutes.
