Answer:

<h2>2/9 is the answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, make an equation.

Given:

8/9 = length of wire

2/3 = length of a part of the wire

E = 8/9-2/3

Unknown:

Second part of wire

2. Make the numbers have equal denominators

2/3 * 3/3

= 6/9

3. Solve

8/9 - 6/9

= 2/9

Claire traveled 701 miles. She drove 80 miles every day. On the last day of her trip she only drove 61 miles. Write and solve an

mina [271]

Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

$80d+61=701$

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

$80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640$

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

$\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8$

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total 9 days of travel.
