Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve we want to convert the 
and 
proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.
×
Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

Answer:
t = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
3 months ------ 4500
6 months ------ x
3/6 = 4500/x
cross multiplation:
3x =27000
x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled
3 months ------ 4500
5 months ------ y
3/5 = 4500/y
3y = 22500
y = 7500
3 months ------- 4500
t months -------- 19500
3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13
3t = 39
t = 13
1) subtract 42.5 miles from 68 miles to find the gross change in distance: It is 25.5. Since this is a decrease, write -25.5 miles.
2) divide -25.5 miles by the original distance, 68 miles:
-0.375
3) multiply this by 100% to find the percentage decrease:
-37.5% (answer)
