Rate x time = distance
25 x 35/60 = distance (35/60 is 35 minutes out of an hour- 60 minutes)
25/1 x 7/12 = distance (I put the 25 over 1 and reduced 35/60)
175/12 ≈ 14.58 miles
Notice that the time had to be in a fraction of an hour in order to do this.
Answer: x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set the two given expressions equal to each other (because the problem says they are interchangeable)
-5x = -40+3x
2. Subtract 3x from -5x to have x on one side of the equation.
-8x = -40
3. Divide each side by -8 to get the value of x.
x = 5
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
If you see they say that the number decreased is 10% each and they say it two times. we could see that the missing number is as big as the length of two 10% together, so if you add them two you get 20%.
