Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let same number of hours = x,
since the salary earned is also the same, then
Salary of supervisor A = $25x
Salary of supervisor B = $20(30)+$30(x-30)
Equating
25x=600+30(x-30)
30x-25x=900-600
5x=300
x=60 hours
Check:
Salary of supervisor A = 25*60=1500
Salary of supervisor B = 20*30+30*(60-30)=600+900=1500, ok.
Answer:
d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 2 5/8 miles by 3 1/2 minutes to obtain the unit rate (miles per minute):
2 5/8 miles
--------------------
3 1/2 minutes
First, convert 2 5/8 miles and 3 1/2 minutes to improper fractions:
21/8 miles 21/8 miles
------------------ = ---------------------- = 21/20 miles/minute
5/2 minutes 20/8 minutes
The constant rate is (21/20) miles/minute, or 1.05 miles/minute.
Thus, the equation representing the distance, d, that the car travels in m minutes is
d(m) = (1.05 miles/min)*m
