Answer:
.4 yards of fabric were used for each pillow.
Steps:
2/5=0.4 (or

Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
speed of Bharat = 12kilometers / hour
speed of Ingrid=14 kilometers / hour
For this problem we'll be using formula relating time, distance and speed.i.e
Distance = speed x time
Suppose Bharat is riding at a distance of 'b' kilometers, therefore time taken by him will be:
Time = distance/ speed
Time= b/12 hours.
Also, Ingrid can ride the distance at this time with speed of 14km/hr
The distance would be,
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 14 x (b/12) => 14b/12
Distance= 7b/6
Let '
' be the distance that Bharat have covered after time 't'
therefore,
= 12 x t
Let '
' be the distance that Ingrid have covered after time 't'
therefore,
= 14 x t
In order to find the time when they are 78 kilometers apart, we will add
and
, because they are travelling in opposite direction creating distance between them.
So,
+
= 78
( 14 x t) + (12 x t) =78
14t + 12t =78
26t= 78
t= 78/26
t= 3hours.
thus, it will take 3 hours until they are 78 kilometers apart
2 numbers can be represented by the variables x and y.
Set up a system of equations:


The two numbers added together will result in a sum of 33. However, one number subtracted from another will result in a difference of 1.
In both systems of equations, there are inverses of variable y. Therefore, we can combine the systems of equations by adding them together:


Divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself:

One of the numbers will be 17.
Plug the value into one of the equations:

Add y to both sides:

Subtract both sides by 1 to get y by itself:

The two numbers that sum up to 33, with a difference of 1 between them, will be 16 and 17.
