The answer is 28.3. Since 3 is less than 5, you round the number down.
Answer:
14 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance traveled from home to destination = x miles.
Speed while going to friend's house = 35 miles per hour.
Speed while coming back = 40 miles per hour.
Total Time taken for the journey = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.
Let the time taken while going to friend's house = y hours.
Therefore, the time taken while going to friend's house = (0.75 - y) hours.
To find x and y, model the speeds of both the journeys.
Speed while going to friend's house = Distance/Time.
35 = x/y.
x = 35y (Equation 1).
Speed while coming back = Distance/Time.
40 = x/(0.75 - y).
x = 40(0.75 - y) (Equation 2).
Since x = x, therefore:
35y = 30 - 40y.
75y = 30.
y = 30/75.
y = 0.4 hours.
Put y = 0.4 hours in Equation 1:
x = 35y.
x = 35(0.4).
x = 14.
Therefore, the distance between my friend's house and my house is 14 miles!!!
Her mistake is that she did the change in x over the change in y. It should be the change in y over the change in x. So: -2-3/-2-4
Answer - 17 days
We know that the total cost cannot be greater than 475. So set the equation 25x+50=475. Now solve for x. You should get x=17 as your answer.
I'm not to sure but i'm pretty sure the substitution method is the way to solve this
