The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
Step-by-step explanation:
i don't understand the ques
-2y-4=4y-4
2) cancel 4 out on both sides
-2y=4y
3) divide both sides by -2
y=-2y
4) subtract both sides by -2y
y+2y=0
5)3y=0
6) divide by 3
Y=0
Answer:the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Dylan,
If the distance to work is 1 mile and you can walk at 4 miles per hour, then you can walk 1 mile in ¼ hr = 15 minutes.
To set up the "equation" think about it this way: (1 mile/ t) = (4 mile/ 1 hr)
so 1/t = 4/1 hr
now multiply both sides by t to get 1 = t·(4/1 hr), next divide both sides by (4/1 hr)
t = 1/(4/ 1 hr) = 1 hr/4 = ¼ hr = 15 min.
