Answer:
1 hour and 25 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 2 1/2 grid unit separation. If each grid unit represents 20 miles, there is a 50 mile separation. 50/40=1.25. It will take a truck driving at 40 miles per hour 1 hour and 25 minutes to drive from warehouse N to this store.
Let x be the number of weeks; therefore, the two linear equations are
Where T stands for the punches on the tea punch card and C for the punches on the coffee punch card.
Solving by substitution. Set T=C, then
Thus, substitute the value of x=3 into the first equation,
Thus, after 3 weeks, Josiah will have the same number of punches on each card, and he will have 23 punches on each card.
