560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon
on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==
or u can also do it this way...
560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==
so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.
To answer the question above, I let x be the number of calendars sold. You may use any other letter as this is just for representation. The total income generated in selling calendars is calculated by multiplying the number of calendars with the price. That is,
total income = 5x
If we let total income be y, our equation is further simplified into,
y = 5x
Answer:
15/4, or 3 3/4 is your answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, t. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply 3/2 to both sides.
(3/2)(2/3)t = (5/2)(3/2)
t = (5/2)(3/2)
t = 15/4
15/4, or 3 3/4 is your answer.
