In order to solve it we have to make two equations for Tony and Ray. But first we have to appeal to the formula : Distance = Speed*Time. Since we have two speeds we can match minimum speed and aximum speed with x and y respectively. So, now we can make an equation for both guys: 

2x+3.5y=355 for Tony 

2x+3y=320 For Ray
Then substracting : the Rae's equation from Tony's one in order to solve both equations.
You get 5y=35 solve for Y which is 70.
The next step is plug the value you have obtained into any equation to find a solution for x.
Let's take this one :
2x+3(70)=320
x=55

Do hope you will find it helpful!

Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil which come in 5/8 pound bags. This equals to 10 pounds of potting soil. Her father calls a
Ann [662]

Answer:

5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Marianne buys 16 bags of potting soil which come in 5/8 pound bags

The above provides 10pounds of potting soil already

Now her father says he needs 13 pounds So Marianne should get an extra of 13 - 10 =3 pounds of potting soil

We know that 1 bag contains 5/8 pounds of potting soil

x bags contain 3 pounds of potting soil

On cross multiplication we get

\frac{5x}{8}=3

x = \frac{24}{5}

since x is an integer x = 5 bags  

Note that an extra amount of soil will be remained unused

A sum of money is divided among Khairul, Michael and Ethan in the ratio
Leto [7]

Answer:

$360

Step-by-step explanation:

The intial ratio of the sum shared between Khairul, Michael and Ethan is 6 : 4 : 5.

This would be 6x : 4x : 5x

Khairul gives $30 to Michael and $15.

The ratio is. Now;

(6x - 45) : (4x + 30) : (5x + 15)

We are told this is equal to the ratio 7:6:7

Thus;

((6x - 45) + (4x + 30))/(5x + 15) = (7 + 6)/7

(10x - 15)/(5x + 15) = 13/7

Factorize the left hand side;

5(2x - 3)/5(x + 3) = 13/7

5 will cancel out to get;

(2x - 3)/(x + 3) = 13/7

Cross multiply to get;

7(2x - 3) = 13(x + 3)

14x - 21 = 13x + 39

14x - 13x = 39 + 21

x = 60

Amount Khairul had initially was denoted as 6x.

Thus,6x = 5 × 60 = $360
