Person a can walk 5 miles in an hour.
Person b can walk 3 miles in an hour.
They are 12 miles apart, and after an hour they have covered 8 miles.
8:1 = 12:x
8x = 12
x = 1.5
After an hour and a half, they will meet.
Check:
5 miles : 1 hour = 7.5 miles : 1.5 hours
3 miles : 1 hour = 4.5 miles : 1.5 hours
Together, they should have covered 12 miles.
7.5 + 4.5 = 12
It takes 1.5 hours to meet eachother.

The ratio is 4:5
so girls=4x
and boys=5x
(because you don't know how many boys or girls there are)
then the equation would be
4x+5x=18
9x=18
so x=2
then 2 times 4 which equals 8
and 2 times 5 which equals 10
so there are 8 girls and 10 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
A clock has 12 hours on it.
360/12 = 30
Each hour is 30 degrees.
3pm to 7:30pm is 4.5 hours
Multiply total hours by degrees per hour:
4.5 x 30 = 135 degrees
Answer:
(2,4) is a solution to this system of equations
Step-by-step explanation:
Given system of equation are
To find the solution of the given system of equations
To Check that (2,4) is a solution to this system or not
Solving equations (1) and (2)
From equation (1) and y=2x
Now substitute y=2x is equation (2)
10-5x=0
-5x=-10
Substitute x=2 in equation (1)
y=2x
y=2(2)
Therefore y=4
Therefore the solution is (2,4)
Therefore (2,4) is a solution to the system of equations.
