We'll do it in cents and convert when we have to.

Tanya paid x per item, a total of 4x.

Tony paid x-125 per item (in cents) for a total of 5(x-125)

4x = 5(x-125)

4x = 5x - 625

x = 625 = $6.25  

Check:

4(625) = 2500

5(625-125)=2500, same, checks

Answer: Tanya paid $6.25 per item, Tony $5.00 per item

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h. How long will it take the object to travel 1 4/5?
professor190 [17]

The object needs 10.58 minutes to travel 1 4/5 if the object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the distance between two items or locations. Distance refers to a physical length or an approximation based on other physics or common usage considerations.

It is given that:

An object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.

u = 10 1/5 min/h

u = 51/5 min/h

As we know, the speed-distance relationship:

time = distance/speed

distance = 1 4/5 = 9/5

time = (9/5)/(51/5)

time = 9/51 hours

time = (9/51)60

time = 10.58 minutes

Thus, the object needs 10.58 minutes to travel 1 4/5 if the object is traveling at a steady speed of 10 1/5 mi​/h.
