Maria runs 7 miles in 80 minutes. at the same rate, how many miles would she run in 64 minutes​
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

5.6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to find the unit rate (the number of miles in 1 minutes).

To get this, we need to divide total miles ran (7 miles) by the total minutes taken (80 minutes). Thus, we will have MILES PER MINUTE.

7 miles ÷ 80 minutes = 7/80 miles per minute

Now,

We want number of miles in 64 minutes. Since we know "PER MINUTE", we simply multiply that with 64 to get number of miles in that amount of time.

THus,

\frac{7}{80}*64=\frac{56}{10}=5.6

So, in 64 minutes, Maria can run 5.6 miles

5 - 2 (a + 3b) / 2 = ? / ?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(5-2a+6b)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PEMDAS, we would multiply 2 by (a+3b) first. This would equal 2a+6b. Since this is being subtracted from 5, the numerator would equal 5-2a+6b. This would bring the simplified answer to (5-2a+6b)/2

Lorenzo ate 25 of his bag of almonds. His 4 friends ate equal shares of the remaining bag of almonds. Which expression represent
LiRa [457]

Answer:

(x - 25) / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, we have one unknown variable which is the total of the bag of almonds, therefore we can represent this with the variable x. Since Lorenzo ate 25 of this bag we would need to subtract this from the total of the bag. Then we need to divide the remainder by 4 since each of his friends ate the rest in equal parts. This would leave us with the following expression ...

(x - 25) / 4
