In order to find the speed at which the boat is traveling, we divide the distance it has traveled by the time elapsed:

2.5/20=0.125 miles/minute

Next, we want to find how long it took for the boat to travel 10 miles. Since it travels 0.125 miles every minute, we just divide:

10/0.125=80

Thus, it took 80 minutes for the boat to reach the bridge

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 763 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 63 more cheeseburgers s
Airida [17]
In order to solve this we'll start by assigning variables to hamburgers and cheeseburgers, since these are what we're trying to find. Lets say x = hamburgers and y = cheeseburgers. So we know two things, we know that x+y= 763 (hamburgers plus cheeseburgers sold equals 763, and we know that y= x+63 (cheeseburgers sold equals 63 more than hamburgers sold). Now we have a system of equations. This can be solved most easily by rearranging each equation to each y, and then set them equal to each other:
x+y=763 -> y=763-x, and we already have y=x+63. Set them equal to each other:
x+63 = 763-x (add x to both sides) -> 2x+63 = 763 (subtract 63 from both sides) -> 2x = 700 (divide both sides by 2) x = 350. So we solved for x, which is hamburgers sold, which is what the question asks for, so your answer is 350 hamburgers were sold on Saturday

RUDIKE [14]
In the given question, there are numerous information's already provided. It is important to note then down first. With the help of those given information's the required answer can be easily reached.
Percentage of students that weighed 140 pounds = 75 percent
Then
Percentage of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (100 - 75) percent
                                                                                                  = 25 percent
Total number of students that were weighed = 40 students
Total number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (25/100) * 40
                                                                                                    = (40/4) students
                                                                                                    = 10 students
So the number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds is 10. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "1".
