Et the numerator be x, so the denominator is x + 4. So we have: 

<span>x/(x + 4) = 9/15 (cross multiply) </span>
<span>15x = 9(x + 4) </span>
<span>15x = 9x + 36 </span>
<span>15x </span>- 9x<span> = 9x - </span>9x<span> + 36 </span>
<span>6x = 36 </span>
6x/6<span> = 36</span>/6
x = 6
x + 4<span> = 6 + 4 = </span>10

<span>Sine the numerator is 6 and the denominator is 10, then the fraction is 6/10, which in the simplest form is equal to 3/5. </span>

<span>Since 9/15 in the simplest form is also equal to 3/5, then 6/10 is equivalent to 9/15. </span>

<span>Thus, 6/10 is the required fraction. hope  i helped</span>

\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{9}{15}
\frac{x}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{5}
5x = 3(x + 4)
5x = 3(x) + 3(4)
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
x = 6

Vladimir is walking down the street at a speed of 4 miles per hour. Write an equation for the distance in miles, d, that Vladimi
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

d=4t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Vladimir is walking down the street at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We are asked to write an for the distance in miles, d, that Vladimir walks over time in hours, t.

We will use rate formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}

Upon substituting our given information in distance equation, we will get:

d=4\cdot t

d=4t

Therefore, the equation d=4t represents the distance that Vladimir walks over time in hours.
