Answer: 24 (choice C)</h3>
Assuming M is a midpoint of KW, this means that WM and KM are congruent
WM = KM
x+3 = 2(x-3) ... substitution
x+3 = 2x-6
2x-6 = x+3
2x-6-x = x+3-x .... subtract x from both sides
x-6 = 3
x-6+6 = 3+6 ... add 6 to both sides
x = 9
Use x = 9 to find the length of WM
WM = x+3 = 9+3 = 12
Which can be used to find the length of KM as well
KM = 2(x-3) = 2(9-3) = 2(6) = 12
both lengths are the same (12) as expected
This makes WK to be
WK = WM + KM
WK = 12 + 12
WK = 24
Time taken by Jami to mow 1/6 acres is 8 minutes=8/60=2/15 hours.
Rate at which Jami is mowing will be:
rate=(number of acres)/(time)=(1/6)/(2/15)
=1/6÷2/15
=1/6×15/2
=5/4 acres/hour
=1.25 acres/hour
From above calculations we conclude that Jami cannot mow 1.5 acres in 1 hour
the three numbers are 49,56 and 63.
Correct Solution: He read 1.5 pages per minute.
Error Analysis: You should’ve divided 3 by 2 not 300. There are 300 pages in the book total. This information is irrelevant to the question. Cole reads 3 pages in two minutes. So you divide 3 by to to find out how many pages he reads per minute. 3/2=1.5
