Distance = rate*time

Let distance from X to Y be 'd' 

From the equation we can solve for 'time'

time = distance/rate

The total time it takes to go 50 mph ,then 40 mph is:

\frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40}

The total time it takes to go 45 mph round trip is:

\frac{2d}{45}

We know that the round-trip at 45 mph takes half-hour shorter, so by adding '1/2' to its time it will be equal to the time to go 50 then 40.

\frac{2d}{45} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{d}{50} + \frac{d}{40} \\  \\ \frac{4d+45}{90} = \frac{9d}{200} \\  \\ 800d+9000 = 810d \\  \\ 10d = 9000 \\  \\ d = 900

Answer: The distance from X to Y is 900 miles.

Answer:

5 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

boys to girls in math class = 3/12

3/12 can be reduced to 1/4

In the science class, the ratio is the same but there is a total of 20 girls.

Multiply the fraction 1/4 by 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, etc. until you get x/20. Then you have 20 girls. x is the number of boys.

1/4 = 2/8 = 3/12 = 4/16 = 5/20

In science the ratio of 1/4 is the same as 5/20, so there are 5 boys.

Answer: 5 boys
