Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.
__
The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.
The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:
60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph
Then the closure time is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h
It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.
(3-6)/(8-2)+(7/2)
Do what is in the parenthesis first.
-3/6+3.5
-0.5+3.5=3
Therefore, your answer is 3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the capacity of the bin is x gallons.
1/2 gallon is 2/3 of x
<u>Convert this into equation and solve for x:</u>
- 1/2 = 2/3x
- x = 1/2 : 2/3
- x = 1/2 * 3/2
- x = 3/4
3/4 gallons of water will fill the bin
