<u>Bus:</u>
40 min = 36 miles
1 min = 36 ÷ 40 = 0.9 mile
<u>Car:</u>
1 min = 0.9 x 1.4 = 1.26 miles
<u>Total distance covered by both vehicles in 1 min: </u>
1.26 + 0.9 = 2.16 miles
<u>Time needed for both of them to cover 36km:</u>
36 ÷ 2.16 = 16 2/3 min
Answer: They will meet 16 2/3 mins after they have started.
No because if you change them in to the same denominator like 12 you would see for example. 3/4 = 9/12 and 5/6 = 10/12.
Let's put this in terms of x:
1.97+x = 5
x=5-1.97
x=3.03
Therefore, the blank is $3.03
1 gallon=16 cups
3 times 16=48
plus 14 mroe
48+14=62 cups total
