Answer:

A person can read 24 pages in 1/3 hour. There are 3 * 1/3 hours in 1 hour. So, the person can read 24 * 3 = 72 pages in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

20 minutes is 1/3rd of an hour. 24 pages / 20 minutes = 1.2 pages per minute. 60 minutes * 1.2 ppm = 72 pages per hour.

60/3=20

24/20 = 1.2

60*1.2=72

The eastbound train travels 10 miles per hour faster than the westbound train. After 2 hours, they are 232 miles apart. At what

patriot [66]

Answer:

48,58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The speed of the west bound train be x

Let the east bound train be x+10

The speeds can be calculated as follows

2(2x+10)= 232

4x + 40= 232

4x= 232-40

4x= 192

x= 192/4

= 48

Hence the speedof the west bound train is 48

The speed of the east bound train is 48+10

= 58

How do you solve for the quotient of (x^-1) - 1 ÷ x - 1?

Ber [7]

$\bf x^{-1}-1\div x-1\implies \implies \cfrac{1}{x}-1\div x-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{x}-1}{~~x-1~~}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1-x}{x}~~}{\frac{x-1}{1}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1-x}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x-1}\implies \cfrac{-(\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix})}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{x}\implies -x^{-1}$
