There are about four other names for a square.
15x=45
45/15 =3
X=3
45 miles in 3 hours
How long did it take for 40 miles?
15x=40
40/15 = 2.6666667
15 x 2= 30
15 x 2.5 = 37.5
15 x 2.6 = 39
15 x 2.7 = 40.5
1 hour equals 60 mins
Answer:
It took Cole about 2 hours and 6 mins to ride 40 miles.
Place value. when multiplying by 10 you are moving a decimal, having everything lined up like place value would save you a lot of time.
The ratio of red to green is 5:6 which means that for every 5 red cars, there are 6 green cars
The ratio of green to blue is 3:10 telling us that for every 3 green cars, there are 10 blue cars.
The ratio 3:10 is equivalent to 6:20 after we multiply both parts by 2. This now says that for every 6 green cars, there are 20 blue cars.
------------------------------
Let's say we had 5 red cars, 6 green cars and 20 blue cars
Based on that info, we know that the ratio of red to green is 5:6
And the ratio of green to blue is 6:20 which reduces to 3:10
We don't reduce 6:20 to 3:10 however, since that would change the green count from 6 to 3. We want to keep the green count at 6.
So because there are 5 red cars, 6 green cars, and 20 blue cars in this example, and this example points to the proper ratios mentioned earlier, this means that the final answer is 5:6:20. This ratio cannot be reduced or simplified as there are no common factors (other than 1) for 5, 6, and 20.
