X/28 = 5/7
x = 28 * 5 / 7
x = 20
answer
x = 20 ft
60, 60 and 60 degrees
There are two criteria: the angles have to all be equal and they have to add up to 180 degrees. This answer satisfies both criteria.
Answer:
Bag 1: 20
Bag 2: 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2
Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:
Bag 1: 50-3x
Bag 2: 50-x
Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:
50-3x = 1/2(50-x)
-> 50-3x = 25-x/2
Now lets isolate x and solve:
25 = 5x/2
-> 50 = 5x
-> x = 10
So plug x bag in for the original equations:
Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20
Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve all of these questions you just need to scale. While scaling you can divide or multiply.
1.
(divide by 4 to get unit rate)
unit rate = 
2. If it takes one hour to travel 40 miles, then we don't have to scale or anything. We know
, the answer is...
"It'll only take one hour to travel 40 miles. This is correct because the unit rate is
. "
3. Knowing that the constant speed of the plane is
, we can scale then add half of the unit rate to get our answer.
x 3 =
800 x 3 = 2400
then add half of unit rate which is
= 400
so, our answer is 
4.
<--- ( divided by 2)
( multiplied x 2.5) ---> 
To get an easier way to find the answer, if possible you can scale back farther than the 1 hour mark.
Elmer would take 2 and a half hours to ride 15 km.
5. The boys speed is
. All we need to do is divide by 2.
= 4
