Last Wednesday, two friends met up after school to read the book they were both assigned in Literature class. Beth can read 3 pa

ges per minute, and she had already read 16 pages. Joseph, who has a reading speed of 2 pages per minute, had read 26 pages. Eventually,
they had read the same number of pages. How long did that take? How many pages had each of them read?

Answer:

3x + 16 = 2x + 26

-2x         -2x

x + 16 = 26

   - 16  - 16

x = 10 min

3(10) + 16

46

2(10) + 26

46

Both read 46

kenny has 9 more comic books than bobbie. together they have 95 comic books. define a variable. then write an equation that coul
Hoochie [10]
Number of comic books Bobbie has - b

95 = (9 + b) + b

Since 95 is the total number of comic books both boys have, it is equal to both boys' books added together. However, since we don't know how many books Kenny has, and only that he has 9 more than Bobbie, we can define that as (9 + b), or nine more than b. Then, we add b again, because (9 + b) is the number of books Kenny has, and if we add that to the number of books Bobbie has, it will equal the total of 95 comic books.

The distance between Vancouver and Winnipeg is approximately 1850 km in a straight line. The distance on a map is 3.7 cm. Write
yKpoI14uk [10]
3.7cm on the map represents 1850km in reality

3.7cm : 1850km

1cm : 1850/3.7 km

1cm : 500km

Scale statement for map is :          1cm : 500km.

That is 1cm on map represents 500km.

1cm : 500km.       Recall 1km = 1000m = 100 000cm

1cm : 500* 100000cm

1cm : 50 000 000cm

1: 50 000 000.

Scale factor is 50 000 000.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

180, 145

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we do 3*60=180 for the first one.

For the second one, we first find the minutes in 2 hours, which is 2*60=120. We add 120+25 and get 45.
