The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
(26/25) x (15/28) x (8/39)
Divide top and bottom by 3 :
(26/25) x (5/28) x (8/13)
Divide top and bottom by 5 :
(26/5) x (1/28) x (8/13)
Divide top and bottom by 4 :
(26/5) x (1/7) x (2/13)
= 52 / 455 = 0.11429... (rounded)
Answer:
The total fluid you have to drink is 10 7/10 = 10.7 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
The daily requirement of water = 8 2/4 cups
Now,
or, the daily water requirement = 8.5 cups
The daily requirement of milk = 2 1/5 cups
Now,
or, the daily milk requirement = 2.2 cups
So, The total fluid needed = Cups of (Water + Milk) needed
= 8.5 cups + 2.2 cups
= 10.7 cups
Also,
Hence, the total fluid you have to drink is 10 7/10 cups.
The answer I got was y=-12x+43.
Hope this helps!
