<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

All you need to do is divide 6.64 and 1.35. you would get 4.91851852. But, you need to round to the nearest tenth so it would actually be 4.9.

Need help with math ASAP (Please)
Scrat [10]
First you plot in the y-intercept of the equation. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 into x. -3m will cancel our giving you y=5. x=0, y=5, the first ordered pair is (0,5). Now after you plot in the y-intercept, use your slope, which is -3, to graph the points of the equation. Starting from (0,5), move down 3 spaces on the y-axis (because it’s -3) and you’ll end up at (0,2). Next move over 1 ( all slopes with just a whole number moves on the x-axis 1 since the whole number divided by 1 doesn’t change the slope number) to the right because it’s a negative linear equation so it’ll go downward. After moving right, you’ll get (1,2). Do a couple more points starting from (1,2) then the 3rd point ABD and so on to get 3 or more points to be able to draw a linear line.

Determine whether more or less than the percent budgeted was actually spent.
SSSSS [86.1K]

The amount spent as a percentage of the budget can be found from

... (actual amount)/(total budget) × 100%

... = (actual amount)/3600×100%

... = ((actual amount)/36)%

For housing, this is

... (820/36)% = 22.78% . . . . less than budget for housing

For transportation, this is

... (370/36)% = 10.28% . . . . more than budget for transportation
