Step-by-step explanation:
First divide 1100 by 2
550
Now that would be the amount the both of them would have to pay if they were splitting it equally. Since there not add 250 to 550.
250+550=800
Finally subtract 250 from 550
550-250=300
Jake has to pay $550
Danny has to pay $300
2/5+3/8= 31/40 therefore he still has 9/40 to go.
to get this you multiply the two denominators together
5x8=40 which is your denominator
then you cross multiply the two numerators
2x8=16
3x5=15
to get the final
15/40+16/40=31/40
and you are left with 9/40
In order to find the speed at which the boat is traveling, we divide the distance it has traveled by the time elapsed:
2.5/20=0.125 miles/minute
Next, we want to find how long it took for the boat to travel 10 miles. Since it travels 0.125 miles every minute, we just divide:
10/0.125=80
Thus, it took 80 minutes for the boat to reach the bridge
