The equation we'll use for this is:Total Gifts = Veronica's Gifts (v) + Natalie's Gifts (n).
12 = v + n
The problem says Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie.
You can directly translate this into an equation!
v = 3 * n = 3n. This means we can replace any v with 3n.
So, 12 = v + n = 3n + n = 4n
12 = 4n
3 = n. Natalie got 3 gifts.
We can now plug back in for Veronica's gifts:
v = 3n
v = 3(3)
v = 9. Veronica got 9 gifts.
The numbers -9 and -4 add up to -13 and multiply to get 36
I hope this helped :)
Answer:
201 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you've traveled 124 miles in 2 hours, than in one hour must've been 62 miles. 62 multiplied by 3 is 186, which is how much miles have been traveled in 3 hours. Plus the 15 minutes would probably be 201 miles. Hope this helps!
