Let H represent the number of hours that must pass before the second car catches up with the first.  This is a rate x time = distance problem.

50 m/h H = 70 m/h (H-2)

50H = 70(H-2) = 70H - 140
This is by virtue of the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

0 = 20H - 140
We subtract 50H from each side.

140 = 20H
We add 140 to each side.

7 = H
We divide each side by 20.

Seven hours is required for the two cars to encounter each other.

Tom used 5/8 yard of ribbon to tie weights on the tail of his kite. He cut the length of ribbon in equal pieces that were 1/12 y
sweet [91]
Here is the solution for the given problem above:
Given: 5/8 yard of ribbon = total length of the ribbon
            1/12 yard = length of the ribbon after Tom cut it equally
            ? = number of pieces of 1/12 yard from 5/8 yard
So to divide fractions, here is the solution
5/8 divided by 1/12
5/8 multiplied by 12/1
5x12 is 60
8x1 is 8.
So 60/8 would be 7.5. Therefore, the number of pieces that was cut from the 5/8 ribbon is 7.5. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:

x=20 and y=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Using vertical angles, angle 1 and 3 equal each other. Therefore, x=80/4. Then, by using the sum of angle 1 and 3, 160, and using vertical angles again, we can find angle 2, which is (360-160)/2.
