The fraction 36/180 can be recuced to 1/5 because 36 divided by 36 is 1 and 180 divided by 36 is 5 hope it helped :)
Answer:
131.3 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.
Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:
d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles (1)
Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence
For car c:
2x = d₁/t
t = d₁ / 2x
For car d;
x = d₂/t
t = d₂/ x
Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:
d₁/2x = d₂ / x
d₁ = 2d₂
d₁ - 2d₂ = 0 (2)
Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles
Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles
2/3 is the answer.
<span>1/3 is equal to 33.33333333% </span>
<span>so 2/3 is equal to 66.6666666%</span>
Line the decimal first then divide 3
First you would find the sum of 187.56 and 49.73 which is 237.29 then you subtract this number from 18.65 which is 218.64 that's your answer
