How many minutes will it take to travel 2.5 miles if you are walking at 3.7 miles per hour?

1 answer:

3 0

STEP 1:
Set up a proportion

x= time to walk 2.5 miles

3.7 miles/ 1 hour= 2.5 miles/x
cross multiply

(3.7 * x)= (1 * 2.5)

3.7x= 2.5
divide both sides by 3.7

x= 0.6756756757

STEP 2:
find minutes

= 0.6756756757 * 60 minutes/hour
= 40.5405405405 minutes

ANSWER: It will take 40.54 minutes to walk 2.5 miles.

Hope this helps! :)

meriva

An equation that correctly represent this relationship if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70

Solution:

Given that, Bill spent 70 on fertilizer and weed killer for his lawn

Each pound of fertilizer cost 50 cents and each once of weed killer cost 3.50

We have to write an equation, if x represents the number of pounds of fertilizer and y the number of ounces of weed killer.

Now, total amount = amount for fertilizers + amount for weed killers.

Total amount = number of pounds of fertilizers x cost per pound + number of ounces of weed killer x cost per ounce.

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 70=x \times 0.50+y \times 3.50} \\\\ {\rightarrow 0.5 x+3.5 y=70}\end{array}$

Hence, the equation is 0.5x + 3.5y = 70
