Step-by-step explanation:
Marcel leaves 30 minutes after Carolyn, leaving between them a gap of 40mph*0.5h=20miles
To catch up with the 20miles, Marcel uses the extra (65-40=25)mph that he has.
Therefore 20m/25mph=0.8h=0.8*60min=48minutes after 2:45, which is at 3:33, Marcel catches up to Carolyn.
Let's break this up:
let x = the number
"when I triple my number" is the same as
3x
"and add five" is the same as
+5
We combine it to get
3x+5
"I get twenty-six"
=26
combine to get
3x+5=26
Now we just solve:
subtract 5 from both sides to get
3x=21
divide by 3 to get
x=7
The value could also be 28 ones
Answer:
For 12 people, the identical recipe that would serve this amount would be 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, 1 pints of sherbet, and 3 cups of ice.
To figure out the corresponding proportion from 24 servings to 12 servings, first we divide 24 by 12, which is 2. The number 2 represents how many times bigger the original recipe is to the smaller 12 servings version, which mean the 24 people version would be twice as big compared to the 12 people serving. So all we have to do to the recipe is divide it in half. And so 4 liters divided by 2 is 2 liters of lemon-lime soda, 2 pints of sherbet becomes 1 pint, and 6 ice cups turns into 3 cups of ice.
