3/5 hour ⇒ 1/4 of the book

Find 1/5 hour:
1/5 hour ⇒ 1/4 ÷ 3 = 1/4 x 1/3 = 1/12 of the book

Find 5/5 (1 hour):
5/5 hour ⇒ 1/12 x 5 = 5/12 of the book

Answer: 5/12 of the book

A police car drives 108km in 1 1/2 hours what is its average speed in kilometers per hour.

zhuklara [117]

ANSWER

72km/h

EXPLANATION

The average speed of the car can be calculated using the formula:

Average Speed=total distance/ total time taken.

The car covers a distance of 108km in 1½ hours.

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain,

$Average \: \: Speed= \frac{108}{1.5}$

$Average \: \: Speed=72 {kmh}^{ - 1}$

Therefore the average speed of the journey is 72km/h

Solve 8(m - 5 ) = 48

Art [367]

Answer

$1)8(m -5 ) = 48 \\ 8m - 40 = 48 \\ 8m = 48 + 40 \\ 8m = 88 \\ \frac{8m}{8} = \frac{88}{8} \\ m = 11$

$2)x + 7 = 13 \\ x = 13 - 7 \\ x = 6$

$3)3h - 5 = 12 \\ 3h = 12 + 5 \\ 3h = 17 \\ \frac{3h}{3} = \frac{17}{3} \\ h = 5 \frac{2}{3}$

Hope this helps you.
