A.
The rate is 12:2
B.
Set up a proportion:
12/2 = x/5
Multiply 5 to both sides:
60/2 = x
Divide:
30 = x
So he will walk 30 miles in 5 hours.
C.
To find out, we can divide 12 / 2.
12 / 2 = 6 miles per hour
I think It is 2. it makes the most sense to me
5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator
1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6
1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6
now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
We know there is 57 members are in the math club and there is twice as many sixth grades than the seventh. To find out how many sixth graders are in the club, we do:
x = seventh graders
2x = sixth graders
2x + x = 3x
57=3x
57 ÷ 3 = 3x ÷3
19 = x
So there is 19 seventh graders and 19×2= 38 sixth graders
