Answer:
(a) 1.4 hours or 1 hour 24 minutes.
(b) 15 miles.
(c)  (5/6)t  miles.
(d) 70 -  (5/6 t  miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) speed =  distance / time
50 = 70 / t
t = 70/50
t = 7/5
t = 1.4 hours.
(b)  18 minutes = 18/60 = 0.3 hours.
50 = distance / 0.3
distance = 50 * 0.3
= 15 miles.
(c). 50 = d /  (t/60)
50 = 60d / t
60d = 50t
d = (5/6) t  miles.
(d)  Number of miles remaining after t minutes =  70 - (5/6) t  miles.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
7 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
$272 total money for all friends
parking costs $7.75 for all
tickets cost $37.75 per person
Solution;
Take away the money for parking to see how much money we have left for tickets
272 - 7.72 = $ 264.25
We divide the $264.25 to the price of 1 ticket $37.75 to see how many tickets we have money for
264.25 / 37.75 = 7
If we have money for 7 tickets then 7 friends can go to the amusement park.
