two years ago the water in a local reservoir fell 8 3/4 feet then it rose 4 3/5 how much did it change

2 answers:

8 0

To find the change, we need to subtract.

8 3/4 - 4 3/5

We need a common denominator to find the answer.

3*5/4*5 = 15/20

8 15/20

3*4/5*4 = 12/20

4 12/20

Now we can properly subtract

8-4=4

15-12
-------- =
20

3/20

Now we have our final answer: 4 3/20

The change : 4 3/20

Traveling 65 mph how many we can you're traveling 22 minutes

Artist 52 [7]

You are travelling 65 miles in 1 hour, or 60 minutes.

So 65 miles in 60 minutes
And x miles in 22 minutes

We can solve the following for x to get the answer

$\frac{65}{60} = \frac{x}{22}\\ 22(65) = 60x \\1430 = 60x \\x = 23.83$

Dana leaves Las Vegas for LA at 2 p.m. driving at 55 mph. At 4 p.m. Lance leaves LA for Las Vegas driving at 45 mph along the sa

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer: They meet after 1 hour 42 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dana leaves Las Vegas for LA at 2 p.m. driving at 55 mph.

Let the time taken by Dana be 't'.

Distance traveled by Dana would be 55t.

At 4 p.m. Lance leaves LA for Las Vegas driving at 45 mph along the same route.

It means after 2 hours Lance leave for LA.

So, time taken by Lance be 't-2'.

Distance traveled by Lance would be 45(t-2)

Total distance = 260 miles

According to question, it becomes,

$55t+45(t-2)=260\\\\55t+45t-90=260\\\\100t=260-90\\\\100t=170\\\\t=1.7\ hours=1\dfrac{7}{10}=1\ hour\ and\ \dfrac{7\times 60}{10}\ minutes=1\ hour\ 42\ minutes$

Hence, they meet after 1 hour 42 minutes.
