The first one is 135 per hour if you barely went 90 miles in a hour in a half, and the second one it is 1/3+1/3+1/3 you add 2 more thirds so it means you add 2 forths 1/4/+1/4+1/4=3/4 so you paint 3/4's of the wall
Answer: 3 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - |x| = 1
First subtract 4
-|x| = -3
The | | sign makes it both positive and negative
So -|3| and -|-3| will = -3
I'm pretty sure $39.31 was the original sales cost because if you use proportions to find out what is 7.2% of 42.35 ( what you get you you subtract 45 by 2.65). Your equation would be x/42.35 = 7.2/100. 42.35 is the whole because tax is adding money onto your original cost, making that the part. When you cross multiply you get 100x = 304.92. Then you divide by 100 on both sides to isolate the variable, to get x = 3.04. But you don't stop there. Since 3.04 is only the 7.2%, you have to subtract that by 42. 35 to get a sum of 39. 31 as your total.
The unit rate is how many calories are in 1 cup of cereal.
Set up a proportion:

Cross multiply and solve:

There are 100 calories per cup of cereal.
To get the calories in 4 cups of cereal, simply multiply the unit rate of 100cals/cup by 4.

There are 400 calories in 4 cups of cereal.
I hope you don't find the solution too messy. If there is anything you don't get. Let me know and I will explain it:
