The answer is 60.

45/36 = 1.25. 1.25*48 = 60.

Answer: The answer is 48 miles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the bus travels 36 miles in 45 minutes.

We are to find the distance in miles that the bus will travel in 60 minutes.

Obviously, we will be using unitary method to solve this problem. Here it goes.

In 45 minutes, distance travelled by bus = 36 miles

In 1 minute, the distance travelled by bus

$=\dfrac{36}{45}~~\textup{miles}.$

∴ In 60 minutes, distance travelled by bus is given by

$\dfrac{36}{45}\times 60=48~~\textup{miles.}$

Thus, the required number of miles is 48.

Mrs. Clever mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally int

Contact [7]

Amount of blue paint = 1.24 x 3
= 3.72
amount of blue paint in each container = 3.72/5
= 0.744

0.744 litres of blue paint is in each container.

The value of

marusya05 [52]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

We have to find out the value of the fraction.

Let us assume that:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + ... \infty} } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto x =\dfrac{2x + 1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =2x + 1$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0$

Comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf a =1 \\ \sf b = - 2 \\ \sf c = - 1 \end{cases}$

By quadratic formula:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4(1)( - 1)} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{8} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm2 \sqrt{2} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 1 \pm\sqrt{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \begin{cases} \sf 1 + \sqrt{2} \\ \sf 1 - \sqrt{2} \end{cases}$

But "x" cannot be negative. Therefore:

$\sf :\implies x = 1 + \sqrt{2}$

So, the value of the fraction is 1 + √2.
