Yes because the adding 4 and 8 would give you the max 12. Then to get the minimum you would subtract 8 and 4 getting 4. The numbers have to fall within that spectrum. They cannot be any more, less, or the exact numbers given.
Let x be the distance from Syracuse where they pass. The first car travels a distance of x in time x/65 while the second car travels a distance 240-x in time (240-x)/55. They pass at the same time after leaving their starting points so x/65=(240-x)/55.
Cross-multiplying we get: 55x=65(240-x)=15600-65x, 120x=15600, x=15600/120=130 miles.
They pass 130 miles from Syracuse.
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know how to use it using a number line sorry
-1/3 - (-1/2)
Two minuses give us a plus
so:
-1/3 + 1/2
make the denominators the same and what you multiply at the bottom you multiply at the top (check online about adding fractions if you don't understand)
so:
-2/6 + 3/6 = 1/6
