Answer:

4/15 yards more

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 - 1/3

5 and 3 have a common denominator of 15.

3/5 = 9/15 1/3 = 5/15

9/15 - 5/15 = 4/15

Answer:

Maya ---> $6\ minutes/puzzle$

Amy ----> $7\ minutes/puzzle$

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

Let

m ---> the number of minutes

p ---> the number of puzzles

In this problem, the relationship between the variables m and p represent a proportional variation

so

$m=kp$

Maya

it takes Maya 30 minutes to solve 5 logic puzzles

we have

m=30, p=5

Determine the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{m}{p}$

substitute the given values

$k=\frac{30}{5}=6\ minutes/puzzle$

The value of the constant k is the same that the slope or unit rate

The equation is equal to

$m=6p$

Amy

it takes Maya 28 minutes to solve 4 logic puzzles

we have

m=28, p=4

Determine the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{m}{p}$

substitute the given values

$k=\frac{28}{4}=7\ minutes/puzzle$

The value of the constant k is the same that the slope or unit rate

The equation is equal to

$m=7p$

Matt's family traveled 3/8 of the distance to his grandmother’s house on Saturday. They traveled 3/5 of the remaining distance o

Elanso [62]

Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a sample number of 100 miles

If 3/8 was traveled the first day, then 37.5m were traveled on the first day.

Now on Sunday, there are 62.5m remaining in the trip. They travel 3/5 of that, meaning they went 62.5 * 3/5m. This turns out to be 37.5 miles that were traveled on Sunday.

37.5/100 = 3.8

poizon [28]

Answer:

x = -50

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+75=75-2x | Given

2x = -150 - 2x | Subtract 75 from both sides

4x = -150 | Add 2x to both sides

x = -50
