You need to find which one is in order
Let x be the 1st number
x + 9 be the second number
Equation:
x + x+9 = 171
Solution:
2x + 9 = 171
2x = 171 - 9
2x = 162
x = 81
x + 9 = 90
81 + 90 = 171
Let's turn 3 hours and 3 minutes into minutes.
One hour=60×3=180+3=183
So, there's 183 minutes in 3 hours and 3 minutes. We need to divide 26.2 miles by 183.
26.2÷183≈ 0.143
So, Sally ran 0.143 miles every minute.
