The simplest form is 11/24.
Answer:
x=45
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x-10=8
2/5x=18
x=18÷2/5
x=18(5/2)
x=45
Let x be the number of base hits Ricky got. With this representation, the number of base hits Pedro got is x + 277. The sum of their number of hits is equal to 2685. The equation that best represent the scenario is,
x + x + 277 = 2685
The value of x is 1204. Therefore, Ricky got 1204 and Pedro got 1481.
For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:
444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km
