Answer:
2/5 of a mile
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest approach is to realise that one hour is 3 times longer than
20 minutes. The longer the time, the more they will pave.
2/5 of a mile, in 20 minutes, how much in 60 minutes?(#)
They will pave 3 times more.
2/15 x 3/1 = 6/15 of a mile
6/15 = 2/5 of a mile
X - (-20) = 5
When you subtract a negative, change it to addition:
X + 20 = 5
Subtract 20 from both sides:
X = -15
Hi there!
All you need to do to solve for a is add 1.6 to both sides of the equation.
It will look like this:
a - 1.6 + 1.6 = -3.7 + 1.6
After this you will see that a = -2.1.
Hope this helps!
When in doubt just replace a with -2.1 and see if you still get -3.7. :)
