Answer:

55mph

None of the option is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v be the speed and t as the time taken. If speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t.

v = k/t where k is the constant of proportionality.

IF it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, then v = 55mph when t = 5 hours.

Substituting this values into the formula above;

55 = k/5

k = 55*5

k = 275mp/hr²

To calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

Hence, martin will also need to drive at 55mph to take 5 hours

Jacob mixes ⅓ cup of yellow paint for every ⅕ cup of blue paint to make green paint. How many cups of yellow paint are needed fo

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob mixes $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of yellow paint for every $\frac{1}{5}$ cup of blue paint to make green paint.

The ratio of yellow paint to blue paint = $\frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{5}$

= 5:3

$\frac{1}{5}$ cup of blue paint = $\frac{1}{3}$ cup of yellow paint

1 cup of blue paint = $\frac{1}{3}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{5}$ cup of yellow paint

⇒ $\frac{1}{3}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{5}{3}$

Hence, For 1 cup of blue paint needed $\frac{5}{3}$ cups of yellow paint.
