Answer:
Since we know that ABCD ~ EFGH, we have the ratios:
EF/AB = GH/CD
=> 0.4/1.2 = x/1.8
=> x = (1.8 . 0.4)/1.2 = 0.6
So x = 0.6
Answer:
In traffic, she drove for 3 hours
and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.
Explanation:
Given that the road trip was 136 miles;
The first part of the trip there was lots of traffic, she only averaged 16 mph;
The second part of the trip there was no traffic so she could drive 44 mph;
She traveled for a total of 5 hours;
let x represent the time in traffic when she traveled at 16 mph
the time the traffic is clear would be;
Recall that distance equals speed multiply by time;
substituting the values;
solving for x;
So;
Therefore, In traffic, she drove for 3 hours
and After the traffic cleared she drove for 2 hours.
If you have a problem like:
4x+2y=20
2x+2y=16
You would subtract
4x-2y=20
-2x+2y=16
You would get the new problum
2x=4
You now want to divide the 2 on both sides to solve for x
x=2
Now that you've solved for X you want to solve for y. So use substitution to solve for y. You would want to substatute the x for the 2 in either of the problums. I'll use the first one.
4(2)+2y=20
You first want to multiply te 4(2) you would get a new problum.
8+2y=20
Now you want to subtract the 8 on both sides.
2y=12
The last step to solve for y is to divide the 2 on both sides.
Y=6
So your answers would be
x=2
y=6
