I set it up as a ratio with hours on the top and the fraction of the job on the bottom. It looks like this: 5/(2/3) / x/1, because 1 is the whole job if 2/3 is only a fraction of it. Cross multiplying gives you 2/3x = 5. Solving for x gives you that it will take 7.5 hours to complete a whole job if it takes 5 hours to complete 2/3 of it.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Given the equation expressed as:
First, we need to calculate the value of "x" from the given expression.
Step 1: Given the equation 2x + 5 = 8x
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides:
Step 3: Subtract 8x from both sides
Step 4: Divide both sides by -6
Step 5: Get the value of 12x. Substitute x = 5/6 into the expression to have:
Therefore the value of 12x is 10
Answer:
=39.42857143 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the average speed, we need to the total distance and the total time
Distance 1
45 miles for 2 hours
45*2 = 90 miles
Distance 2
90 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = 1.5 hours
32 miles * 1.5 hours =48 miles
The total distance = 90+48 = 138 miles
The total time = 2 +1.5 = 3.5 hour
The average speed = total distance/ total time
= 138/3.5
=39.42857143 miles per hour
