3 0

Answer:

a = 0, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3a + b = 3

b = - 3a +3

2a - 5b = - 15

2a - 5(-3a + 3) = - 15

2a + 15a - 15 = - 15

17a = 0

a = 0

b = -3a +3 = - 3 *0 +3 = 3

Winnie can walk 2 miles in 30 minutes. How many miles can she walk in 2 hours? (Remember 1hr = 60 min) A. 2 B. 4 C. 6 D. 8

Sati [7]

The answer is D-8.

If Winnie walks 2 miles in 30 minutes, 30 minutes is half an hour so for 1 hour which is 60 minutes, she can walk 4 miles, 90 minutes she can walk 6 and for 120 minutes which is 2 hours she can walk 8.

So all I did was multiply 2 by 4 and got 8. The number 4 came from the thought that 2 hours have 4 sets of 30 minutes
