3 * 4 + 1/4 - 1 5/8

Step 2. Simplify 3 * 4 to 12

12 + 1/4 - 1 5/8

Step 3. Simplify 12 + 1 to 13

13/4 - 1 5/8

Step 4. Convert 1 5/8 to an improper fraction.

13/4 - 1 * 8 + 5/8

Step 5. Simplify 1 * 8 to 8

13/4 - 8 + 5/8

Step 6. Simplify 8 + 5 to 13

13/4 - 13/8

Step 7. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 13/4, 13/8

LCD = 8

Step 8. Make the denominators the same as the LCD

13 * 2/ 4 * 2 - 13/8

Step 9. Simplify. Denominators are now the same

26/8 - 13/8

Step 10. Join the denominators

26 - 13/8

Step 11. Simplify

13/8

Your customer is located 100 miles from your office.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

8:02 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how many minutes it takes to travel one mile:

60 divided by 45= 1.333334 minutes

It takes 1.333334 minutes to travel 1 mile, how long will it take to travel 100 miles:

1.333 times 100 = 133.3334

133.3334 rounds to 133 minutes

Add 15 minutes because you want to arrive early

133+15=148

Divide it by 60

148 divided by 60 = 2.466667

or do

148-120 (2 hours) = 28 minutes

It will take 2 hours and 28 minutes to get there

10:30-2:28= 8:02
