Answer:

75 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mercy chews an average of 32 gums a month

Then how many months would it take her to finish 2,400 sticks of gum?

1 month= 32 gums

? = 2,400 gums

2,400/ 32= 75.

Therefore,from the above mentioned calculation, it is determined that it would take 75 months to finish 2,400 gums if Mercy chews at a rate of 32 gums a month.

The calculation is based on the fact that there is already an average number of gums used in a month, so from there it was easy to solve and calculate how many months it would take to consume 2,400 sticks of gum.

Two cyclists leave city at same time, one going east and the other going west. The westbound cyclist bikes 3 mph faster than the

Bumek [7]

Speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the speed of west bound cyclist is 15 mph.

<u>Solution:</u>

Let us assume that x is speed of slower eastbound cyclist

So, x+3 will be the speed of faster westbound cyclist

We know that distance is the product of speed and time. That is,

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

West-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x+3 mph ; Time = 6 hrs ; distance = 6(x+3) = 6x+18 miles

East-bound DATA:

Rate of speed = x mph ; time = 6 hrs. ; distance = 6x miles

On solving,

Distance apart = 162

$\Rightarrow6x+18+6x = 162$

$\Rightarrow12x=162-18$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{144}{12}\rightarrow x=12$

So, the rate of speed of the east bound cyclist is 12 mph and the rate of speed of the west bound cyclist will be $x+3=12+3=15 \text{ mph}$

Write each ratio as a rate.

Setler [38]

Answer:

a. 62 miles/hour

b. 1.25 laps/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

a. ratio of miles to the number of hours is 434 to 7 can also be written as

$\frac{434}{7}$ = 62 miles/hour

therefore rate or speed= 62 miles/hour

b. $\frac{number\ of \ laps}{number\ of \ minutes} = \frac{5}{4}$

= 1.25 laps/minute which rate or speed

Convert 3/8 to a decimal and percent but pls explain how you guys get 375 pls ;-;

natali 33 [55]

You just divide 3 by 8. when 3 is inside the "house" and 8 is outside, 8 doesn't go into 3 so move on and 8 goes into 30 3 times. and so forth. 30-24=6 bring down the 0. 8 goes into 60 7 times. the decimal is 0.375. the percent is 37.5%.
