Answer:

(2/3)x = -11

x = -33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of a number is -11.

Let the unknown number be x.

2/3 of x is -11.

(2/3)x = -11

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

(3/2)(2/3)x = (3/2)(-11/1)

x = -33/2

PLS Help Asap! i will award brainliest On her way to her grandmother's house, Jackie traveled three times as many miles by train

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

24 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie traveled four times as many miles by bus as by foot. This means that the number of miles travelled by bus is 4 units, and the number of miles travelled by foot is 1 unit.

Jackie traveled three times as many miles by train as by bus. We know that the number of miles travelled by bus is 4 units, so the number of miles travelled by train is $4\times3=12$ units.
