You need to find out how many problems Carl can do in a minute (unit rate), which is 20/55 or .36363636363. If you multiply it by 75 mins, you get 27.27, so the answer would be 27.
The speed to the island is x. The speed to return is x+5.
The distance is the same so, 2.5 multiplied by x = 2×(x+5).
It took 2.5 hrs to get there and 2 hrs to return. Now all we have to do is solve.
2.5*x = 2x + 10
.5x = 10
x=20
Therefore, the distance between islands is 2.5 × 20 = 50 miles.
hope this helps!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am sorry but what is this suppose to be asking
Is there a picture to find the answer?
I hope you meant find x
5x + 3x + 2x = 180. x=18
