Answer:
1. 24 quarts. 2. 85 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We need to know how many 2/3 are in 4.
if 3/3 are in 1 cup, then 12/3 are in 4 cups.
there are 6 twos in 12, so there are 6*2/3 cups in 4 cups.
Each 2/3 needs 4 quarts of green, and we have six times that.
6*4 = 24, so we need 24 quarts of green paint.
2. The 12.75 miles would go in the "d" or distance part of the equation.
d = 0.15t
12.75 = 0.15t (divide both sides by 0.15)
12.75/0.15 = 0.15t/0.15
t = 85, so 85 seconds.
12.75 miles isn't the distance between the two cities, it's much farther, so this answer makes sense.
