Answer:
Because the store claimed to have the best overall prices
300/250 can be divide by 50 which makes it 6/5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 25 ...........................(1)
{4x + 2y =64} / 2 divide the equation by 2
2x + y = 32 ........................(3)
Step Two
subtract (1) from (3)
2x + y = 32
x + y = 25
x = 7
Therefore from equation 1 we get x + y = 25
but x = 7
7 + y = 25 Subtract 7 from both sides.
y = 25 - 7
y = 18
Check
4*x + 2*y = 64
4*7 + 2*18 =? 64
28 + 36 = ? 64
64 = 64
The checks out to be the right answer.
Answer:
- <u>They can catch up with the bus at 10:40 am.</u>
Explanation:
1. Set the time when Liana and her mother can leave (8:40 am) as t₀ = 0; thus the time of driving for them will be t.
2. The average speed at whic Liana's mother drive: 60 miles/hour
3. Thus, the distance they will have driven will be:
- distance = average speed × time = 60t
4. The time the bus left was 8:00 am, which is 40 minutes before Liana and her mom can leave.
Thus, the time wil have driven when Liana and her mom have driven t hours minutes will be: t + 40 min / 60 min/ hour = t + 2/3
5. The average speed of teh bus is 45 miles / hour
6. The distance the bus will have driven will be:
- distance = average speed × time = 45(t + 2/3)
7. When Liana and her mother catch up with the bus, the distances driven by both of them are equal:
Thus, Liana and her mom can catch up with the bus after 2 hours, since 8:40 am; this is, 10:40 am.
