8/12 is still owed, and when you simplify the fraction it becomes 2/3
Answer: at 50 mph, she drove for 4 hours.
at 45 mph, she drove for 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t represent the time that she spent driving at 50 miles per hour.
Taylor took 6 hours to drive home from college for Thanksgiving break. This means that the time that she spent driving at 45 miles per hour is (6 - t) hours.
Distance = speed × time
Distance covered while driving 50 miles per hour is
50t
Distance covered while driving 45 miles per hour is
45(6 - t)
Since the total distance that she drove is 290 miles, it means that
50t + 45(6 - t) = 290
50t + 270 - 45t = 290
50t - 45t = 290 - 270
5t = 20
t = 20/5 = 4
At 45 miles per hour, she drove at
6 - 4 = 2 hours
Step 1. Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
2x^2(x - 5) -5(x - 5)
Step 2. Factor out the common term x - 5
(x - 5)(2x^2 - 5)
Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
It's 1 mile. She ran an 8th if an mile. If the ran 1/8 of a mile 8 times, it adds up to 1 mile.
