Answer:

A train will travel 12 miles in 15 minutes.

Explanation:

Let’s say the unknown minutes is x.

16 miles divided by 12 miles equals to 20 minutes divided by X, the unknown.  

Here is the solution;

16 miles        20 minutes

………………  = …………………

12 miles             x

So, 16 miles multiplied by x will give 16x =20 minutes multiplied by 12 miles which is 240.

Now, 16x =240 will give x=240

                                         …………

                                             16

Giving us a final answer of 15 minutes .

Therefore, it will take a train 15 minutes to travel 12 miles.

Hitman42 [59]

"The Odyssey", is one of the two really important works by Homer, together with "the Iliad". These two works by this great Greek author, one of the most important in history, have been known as the greatest works, and the most ancient, of literary history and "the Iliad" is known as the oldest written literary work ever, while "the Odyssey" has been known as the second oldest. "Odyssey", believed to have been written somewhere around the 8th century B.C, continues the story of Odysseus, who after the Trojan War, seeks to return home to Ithaca, where he is king, and where his wife Penelope, and son Telemachus, have been awaiting him. On the voyage home, Odysseus, and his son and wife as well, face several adventures that not only lead to the resulting final encounter and its consequences, but also change these three characters and affect others around them. However, probably the one that changes the most throughout both "Iliad" and "Odyssey" is Odysseus himself, who at first recognized himself as a reckless and impulsive man, which caused him to leave his home and family to fight in the Trojan War. After the endless adventures, and obstacles, that this character needs to face in order to reach his goal, returning to his family and home, he comes to find that he also needs to reassert his presence and authority to his wife, Penelope, and he confronts them in a contest of archery, established by Penelope in order to dissuade her suitors. In this particular excerpt, what Odysseus portrays, and that is why at first Penelope has trouble recognizing her husband, is the way that he A: has become more patient and humble in battle. It is not until after a bit later that Penelope and Odysseus finally reunite when she recognizes him.

Why is the novel called the absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The "absolutely true diary" portion of the title is appropriate because the novel is presented like a diary, including some of Junior's drawings. The title is also a little funny because this is a work of fiction — therefore, not entirely true — based on Alexie's own life.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please feel free to post them and someone will be able to help you, whether it's myself or others. Please leave a like, rating, and if possible, Brainliest. Have a great day!
