Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that it takes 45 minutes for a person to drive 50 miles. We can write this as a fraction that is 45/50, which simplifies to 9/10, meaning it would take this person 9 minutes to travel 10 miles.

So, how long would it take to travel 120? Well, we know that if we take 10 miles and multiply it by 12 we will have 120 miles. If we take the time it takes to drive those ten miles (9 minutes) and multiply it by 12, we will figure out how long it takes to drive 120 miles!

9×12=108

However, we want this to be written in hours. We know that there are 60 minutes in an hour, and if we subtract 60 from 108 we have 48. This gives us 1 hour and 48 minutes.

Therefore, it will take 1 hour and 48 minutes for this person to travel 120 miles at the same rate.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Well, let us figure out what the first store will cost.
40*6.95=278
Now for the second store
325*0.8=260

So the first store is $278, while the second store is $260, so Elisa should buy shirts from the second store

The pair of values below is from a direct variation. Find the missing number.

NISA [10]

Answer:

The answer is 2.

2 since 6/4=3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since your relation is a direct variation then the points on your line are of the form y=kx where k is the constant of variation (also called constant of proportionality)

If y=kx then y/x=k.

So all the points in this relation since it is a direct variation will be equal to y-coordinate/x-coordinate.

So we are going to solve this proportion:

$\frac{6}{4}=\farc{3}{x}$
