Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 + 3/4
= 2/4 + 3/4
= 5/4
= 1 and 1/4 miles
So if you have 192 marbles and you want to group them in groups of 15 marbles each
you would see how many times 15's there are in 192 or how many 192's would go into 15
so 192/15 or
12 and 12/15
Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3
Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10
what are their present ages
find M and N
substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:
4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14
M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.
check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10
It will take more than 60 miles depending on how long the home plate is
