x - y = 14
given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3
then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as
5x + 3x = 56
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21
Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14
Answer:
where's the question.........
Given:
unit rate: 20km/h
Speed = distance / time
20kmh = 30km / time
time = 20kmh / 30km
time = 2/3 hrs or 40 minutes
2/3 hrs * 60mins/hr = (2*60)/3 = 120/3 = 40 minutes
