The unit rate is 1/5. The plant grows 1 inch per 5 days.
Let’s make an equation
Let’s say x = amount of years after
Smith = 8, mother = 42
3(8 + x) = 42 + x
24 + 3x = 42 + x
2x = 18, x = 9
Solution: after 9 years
Answer:
It will take Tara 3 hours to get to Nashville. If they meet, it would take them 1 hour and 46 minutes or 1.766 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 212 miles by 65 mph: 212÷65=3.2 and 3.2 rounded is 3. They will each drive half the way if they meet in the middle, so 212 miles divided by 2 is 106. Divide that by 60: 106/60=1.766. That is equivalent to 1 hour and 46 minutes.
