Answer:
80 Miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If you convert 15 minutes to hours, you get .25 hours. Then, you use that number and multiply it by 320 to get your answer; 80 miles.
Let named variables as you said g- guinea pigs and c- chinchillas
System of equation is:
First is: c+ g = 60,005
Second is: c= 2g+5
When we replace second in first we get:
2g+5+g = 60,005 => 3g+5= 60,005 => 3g= 60,000
g=60.000/3 = 20,000 => g=20,000
When this result we replace in the second equation we get
c= 2 * 20,000 +5= 40,000+5 = 40,005
c= 40,005
Good luck!!!!

Answer: C) 13 gallons</h3>
============================================================
Work Shown:
(150 miles)/(6 gallons) = (325 miles)/(x gallons)
150/6 = 325/x
150*x = 6*325 .... see note below
150x = 1950
x = 1950/150 .... divide both sides by 150
x = 13 gallons is the final answer

Note: in this step, I cross multiplied. The general template for cross multiplication is that we go from A/B = C/D to A*D = B*C. As the name implies, the "cross" refers to the "X" shape that forms when you multiply the terms.
