A good way to think about this is take the phrase "miles in hours" from the question. You are given "560 miles in 10 hours" and what you need to figure out is "X miles in 1 hours." To go from 10 hours to 1 hour, you divide by 10. So you also want to divide miles by 10 to keep everything consistent. 560/10 = 56 miles.
<h3>The answer is 56 miles.</h3>

Answer:
14 days
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert the amount of work person A and B can do respectively in one day into fractions.
A = 1/16 B = 1/12
2. Get both fractions to a common denominator using the least common multiple. This is 48.
1/16 × 3 = 3/48 1/12 × 4 = 4/48
3. Add both fractions to find out how much work will be done in two days. We are doing this because we are working in a pattern, and this will allow us to multiply, which is more time efficient than repeatedly adding 3 and then 4.
3/48 + 4/48 = 7/48
4. Figure out how many sets of two days work (7/48) will get them to 48/48 (100% done) or closest to it without being under. This would be 7 sets.
7/48 × 7 = 49/48
5. Multiply 7 by 2. We are doing this because we worked in sets of two days to account for A working and then B, since they are taking turns.
7 × 2 = 14
6. It will take them 14 days.
10% of 35= 3.5
35+3.5= $38.5 per hr (new hourly wage)
$38.5*6= $231
Final answer: $231
