, how fast does each car go if they meet at 5:00 p.m.? If 3x represents the distance that the slower car traveled, then which expression represents the distance the faster car traveled?

Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.
At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).
But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles.

Answer: 3x45=135

Step-by-step explanation:Let’s call the speed of the slower car S, then the speed of the other is S+10mph.

At 5pm they have been travelling for 3 hours. The slower car travels a distance 3S and the faster one 3(S+10).

But the two distances must add up to 240 miles so 3S+3(S+10)=240, 3S+3S+30=240, 6S=210, S=35 mph. The faster car’s speed is 45mph. We can see that 3S is the same distance as 3x, so x=S=35 mph, and the distance the faster car travels is 3×45=135 miles

Digiron [165]

Answer:

1½ cords per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

A log splitter can split 6/5 cords of wood in 4/5 of an hour.

To find a unit rate, we divide the quantity of cords of wood by the time.

This gives us the complex fraction.

\frac{ \frac{6}{5} }{ \frac{4}{5} }

This is the same as

\frac{6}{5}  \div  \frac{4}{5}

To divide two fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

\frac{6}{5}   \times   \frac{5}{4}

\frac{3}{1}   \times   \frac{1}{2}

This simplifies to:

\frac{3}{2}  = 1 \frac{1}{2}

The unit rate is 1.5 cords per hour
