The fraction would be 3/20
Write equations for both companies:
Company A = 80 + 0.30x
Company B = 20 + 0.50x
X = number of miles.
Set the equations to equal and solve for x:
80 + 0.30x = 20 + 0.50x
Subtract 0.30x from both sides:
80 = 20 + 0.20x
Subtract 20 from both sides:
60 = 0.20x
Divide both sides by 0.20:
x = 60 / 0.20
x = 300
The answer is 300 miles.
It is 71.4285% (to be exact) increase
Answer:
The missing side is 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since in the smaller rectangle the sides are 2.5in x 6in and one side for the larger rectangle is given, you can make an equation.
Then you can cross multiply.
2.5x=45
Divide by 2.5 on both sides.
x= 18
