Working in minutes might give us a little more flexibility here, so we can start by converting 1 hour and 12 minutes, giving us 60 + 12 = 72 minutes for Chloe to drive 48 miles.

We can write her Chloe's rate then as 48 mi/72 min; since 48 and 72 have the factor 12 in common, we can reduce this to a rate of 4 mi/6 min. We want to find how many miles Chloe would travel in <em>60 minutes </em>at that rate. Since 60 = 6 x 10, we can scale the rate up by a factor of 10, getting us a rate of 4 x 10 = 40 mi/60 min, or 40 mph.

To find a speed in miles per hour, we need to divide a number of miles by a number of hours.

We are given 48 miles, so we already have a number of miles.

We are given the time as 1 hour and 12 minutes. We need to convert this time into hours.

1 hour + 12 minutes = 1 hour + 12/60 hour = 1.2 hours

speed = distance/time = 48 miles / 1.2 hours = 40 mph

Answer: The fourth choice, 40 mph.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

45km

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered in 1min 20sec (80sec) = 1km

Distance covered in 1 min (60sec) = 1km/80sec

Distance covered in 1Hr (3600sec) = (1/80)*3600 = 45km.

HELP ASAP <br> IF YOU TAKE THE POINTS IM REPORTING U<br> QUESTION IN PIC
Andrew [12]
Let's call the number x. So four times the number minus five would look like
4x-5
Twice the number plus three would look like
2x+3
Now make the two equations equal
4x-5=2x+3
I'm going to subtract 2x from each side
2x-5=3
Now I'm going to add five to each side
2x=8
Now divide both sides by 2
x=4
To double check, just plug back into the original equations
4(4)-5=11
2(4)+3=11
They are equal, so the answer is x=4.

DIA [1.3K]
The answer is 10/3
The explanation 2 1/3 cu of flour/ 3 1/2 dozen of cookies = X unknown cu. of flour/ 5 dozen cookies

Cross multiply

3 1/2 X = 5 (2 1/3) Change the mixed numbers into improper.

7/2 X = 5 ( 7/3) Solve for "X." Multiply both sides of equation by reciprocal of 7/2, which is 2/7

(2/7 (7/2)X = 5 (7/3)(2/7) X= 10/3 =Just divide 10 by 3. You should get a whole number

What are the equations to these graphs?<br> (30PTS)
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

1) y = -2/3x - 4

2) y = 4

3) y = x + 5

Step-by-step Explanation

Linear equations are represented by y= mx+b

m is your slope (the rise over the run)

b is the y-intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis)

Write the rule for finding a point translated vertically k units up. 2. Use this rule to find the coordinates for (−3, −6) when
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Rule is (x, y+k)

New point is (-3,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

A point translated vertically k units up means the x coordinate remains the same in the translation but the y coordinate is increased by k units

This can be represented mathematically as;

Let;s assume the point to be A with coordinates (x,y) then to get the image of the point under  a vertical translation k units up you add k to the y coordinate value.

Given ;

A=(\frac{x}{y} )\\\\T=(0,k)\\\\A'=(\frac{x}{y} )+(\frac{0}{k} )=(\frac{0+x}{y+k} )\\\\A'=\frac{x}{y+k} =(x,y+k)

where T is the translation

In the question

Given (-3,-6) and T is (0,5) the new coordinate will be

=(\frac{-3}{4}) +(\frac{0}{5} )=\frac{-3}{9} =(-3,9)
