<span><span>A cargo plane flew to Moscow and back.
It took six hours longer to go there than it did to come back.
The average speed on the trip there was 152 mph.
The </span></span><span>average speed on the way back was 380 mph.
How many hours did the trip there take?
(x + 6)152 = 380x
228x = 912
x = 4
The trip there took 10 hours.</span>
Answer:
7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.
Explanation:
Let
q = quarts of olive oil remain
<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.
22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used
<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>
Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.
<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>
<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>
<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>
Answer:
y=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r, g and b represent red, green and blue.
r+g+b = 74
r=g-1
b=r+g
Again, r+g+b = 74. Let's substitutte r+g for b: r+g+(r+g) = 74.
Next, let's eliminate r. Use r=g-1. Then g-1 + g + g-1 + g = 74
Combining the g terms, 4g - 2 = 74 => 4g = 76 => g = 19
Recall that r=g-1
and
b=r+g
Find r. If r=g-1, and g=19, then r = 19-1=18
Find b: b = r+g = 18+19=37
So there are 37 blue candies, 18 red candies and 19 green candies.
Check: 37+18+19=74 ??? Yes.
It is 5:9 in simplest form
