Christopher would be able to make 18 scarves.
To solve this problem, we just need to divide 12 by 2/3. To divide 12 by 2/3, we just multiply 12 by 3/2.
This will give us 36 over 2 or just 18.
Suppose that this person drives at r mph going to the mountains, and gets there in 12 hours. Returning, this person drives at (r+20) mph and gets home in 8 hours. We don't know the distance yet, but can solve for the initial speed, r, by setting
d = 12r = (r+20)(8). Solving for r, r=40 mph (going) and (40+20)mph = 60 mph (returning. Since d=12 r, d = (12 hrs)(40 mph) = 480 miles (answer).
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
8x and 7x + 3 are vertically opposite angles.
Vertically opposite angles are equal,
8x = 7x + 3
8x - 7x = 3
x = 3
