1/2r - 3 = 3(4-3/2) -----> Simplify the right side.
1/2r - 3 = 3(1/2) -----> Multiply
1/2r - 3 = 3/2 ----> Add 3 to both sides
1/2r = 6/2 + 3/2
1/2r = 9/2 -----> Divide both sides by 1/2 which is the same as multiplying my 2
r = 18/2
r = 9
Hope this helps!
63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
(1) 20p + 9t = 44.4
(2) (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51
The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.
I think the answer is 20.25 because when solving for the area of a triangle you do 1/2 base times height and so the equation would be
1/2(9)(4.5)
you would start by doing 9(4.5) which equals 40.5
then you would divide by 1/2 which equals 20.25
hope this helps:)
