Answer:
56.3 kilometers per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know D = RT
where
D is distance
R is rate (speed)
T is time
Let's Bill's rate be "x". Thus using equation we can write:
D = xt
We know Eugene travelled 21.1 faster than Bill, so Eugene's rate is 21.1 + x. So we can write:
D = (21.1 + x)t
D = 21.1t + xt
Now, putting t = 1 in both since after 1 hour given, we have:
D = x(1)
D = x
and
D = 21.1(1) + x(1)
D = 21.1 + x
We know the sum of both the distance is 133.7, so we can write:
x + 21.1 + x = 133.7
Solving for x:
2x = 133.7 - 21.1
2x = 112.6
x = 112.6 / 2
x = 56.3 km/hr
This is Bill's rate: 56.3 kilometers per hour
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (21)(8)
A = 1/2 (168)
A = 84
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.
Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.
Here's the setup:
Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,
(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)
This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.
It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.
This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.
