So to begin your problem, you know that your car already has an average which is 65km/45 mins. The problem wants you to change this to km/hr. This means that you need to convert minutes to hours. A simple way to do this is by using fractions.
Set your problem up with fractions similar to this:
65km/45 mins x 60 mins/1 hr.
the whole point is to cancel out your minutes, and leave the hours as your new unit for the denominator
65km/45 x 60/1 hr.
now you want to reduce (I divided the first fraction by 5)
13km/9 x 60/1 hr.
780km/9hrs.
That would be your answer. If someone can double check my math that would be fantastic.

65km in 45 min
1 hour=1h=60min
45/60=3/4
65km=3/4hour
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clear fraction
260/3=1 hour
86 2/3 =1 hour
aprox
86.666666666 km per hour

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to

Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

In the diagram, BC¯¯¯¯¯∥DE¯¯¯¯¯ .<br><br> What is AE ?

emmainna [20.7K]

So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.

So you can use proportions here.

AB / AC = AD / AE

AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3

AD = 6

So plug in these values:

AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE

Now do the cross multiply:

7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)

Now solve for AE:

7AE = 6AE + 18

AE = 18

This is a very simple and easy problem. I'm not sure why you need someone else to solve it, but I hope this helps

a. Linear equation:

Let x be amount of movies rented

$8 + ($2.50 * x)

$8 + ($2.50 * 10)

= $8 + $25.0

= $33
