Yes, because 6/7 is the same as 36/42 and 4/6 is the same as 28/42. It is easy to see that 6/7 is greater than 4/6
Let's write some equations.
Mingwei's distance from Town A after

hours from 8:00 is

.
Ali's distance from Town B after

hours is

, since he doesn't start walking for 40 minutes.
When Mingwei's distance is twice Ali's, they've met up (since their distance from Town A is twice their distance from Town B).
So, this gives

, so

, so

, so the time is 10:40.
After

hours, Mingwei has traveled

kilometers while Ali has traveled sixty, so the distance between the towns is

kilometers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Jill makes purses and backpacks.
Let x represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a purse.
Let y represent the number of foot of fabric required to make a backpack.
To make each purse,she uses 1 foot less than half the amount of fabric she uses to make a backpack. This means that
x = (y/2) - 1
Therefore, the amount of fabric that Jill needs to make backpack will be
y/2 = x-1
y = 2(x-1) = 2x - 2
The number of feet of fabric that she will use to make a purse is
x = (y/2) - 1
The textbook is $150 originally, so to find the price of the textbook on sale, multiply the original price by 12% (0.12). Then subtract 12% of 150 from 150.
Subtract 18 from 150.
Multiply the price of the textbook on sale by the sales tax of 8.25% (0.0825). Then add the tax price onto the sale price of the textbook.
Add 10.89 to 132.
The final price of the textbook is $142.89.
This is how you solve it..
95/n=n
You could put 5 in and get 95/5=19.
