Answer:

D. He

Explanation:

<em>The participle phrase is here modifying the subject "he". It assists in the amendment of the gerund phrase i.e. 'his laughing action" where the participle phrase("he shook his head and said") acts as an adjective to revamp or modify the previous idea.</em> As we know that adjectives always function as a transformer of a noun or pronoun and thus adds to meaning and description to the sentence which best illustrates the use of participle phrase here.<em> Thus, we could conclude that here the participle phrase modifies the pronoun "he".</em>

A train travels 16miles in 20minutes. At this rate, how many minutes will take to travel 12miles?
gladu [14]

Answer:

A train will travel 12 miles in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

Let’s say the unknown minutes is x.

16 miles divided by 12 miles equals to 20 minutes divided by X, the unknown.  

Here is the solution;

16 miles        20 minutes

………………  = …………………

12 miles             x

So, 16 miles multiplied by x will give 16x =20 minutes multiplied by 12 miles which is 240.

Now, 16x =240 will give x=240

                                         …………

                                             16

Giving us a final answer of 15 minutes .

Therefore, it will take a train 15 minutes to travel 12 miles.
