Rate = 85 minutes/10 miles
he runs a mile every 8.5 minutes
8 x 8.5 =68
This is because you multiply the Mileage(8) by the rate that was aquired. :)
The answer is actually 7,200
Hi there!
To get the answer to this question, let's divide the diameter of the Earth by the diameter of Mercury.

We can change this to

Let's solve for each individual fraction

≈ 0.27

= 10
Now, multiply.
0.27 * 10 = 2.7
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day/night! :)

Please, enclose those binomials x+4 and y+7 inside parentheses:
(x+4) / 4 = (y+7) / 7. Find (x/4).
Let's solve the above equation for x:
x+4 = 4(y+7)/7. Then x = 4(y+7) / 7 - 4
Last, divide all 3 terms by 4: x/4 = (y+7) / 7 - 1 (answer)
y + 7 - 7
You could also type this as x/4 = ------------- = y/7
