Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Divide both sides of equation by t to isolate r. Then, r = d/t
B) Plugging in the given numbers, solve:
d = distance which is 760,320 yards
r = rate which is unknown
t = time which is 2 hours.
- r = d/t
- r = 760,320 yards / 2 hours
- r = 380,160 yards per hour
C) The conversion from yards to miles, 1 yard = 1760 miles. So, multiply by the previous answer in (B) by the two ratios or just divide:
- 380,160 yards / 1760 miles = 216 miles per hour
D) Use miles in this scenario because of the number of significant digits (yards would require a number in the hundred-thousands).
She bought 11 shirts and 4 pants
Let x= pants
Let y= shirts
x+y=15
x+7=y
x=y-7
(y-7)+y=15
2y=22
y=11
x+y=15
11+x=15
x=4
Therefore, Elaine bought 11 shirts and 4 pants
