The first thing I would do is divide the rate by 1 1/4, to get the amount per hour which gives us this:
20 pages per 1 hour
Now, that we know he reads 20 pages per hour, we just divide 230 by 20 to find the amount of hours. Our answer comes out to 11.5 hours.
Answer: speed of the car is 88 miles per hour
the speed of the motorcycle is 78 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of miles travelled by car = 312
Number of miles travelled by motorcycle = 272
Let x = speed of the car
Let y = speed of the motorcycle
If the car's speed is 10mph more than the motorcycle's, it means
x = y + 10 - - -- - - 1
Time taken for car to travel 312 miles is distance /speed = 312/x
Time taken for motorcycle to travel 272 miles is distance /speed = 272/y
The car travels 312 miles in the same time that a motorcycle traveled 272.
This means
312/x = 272/y
312y = 272x
y = 272x/312
Substituting y = 272x/312 into equation 1, it becomes
x = 272x/312 + 10
312x = 272x + 3120
312x-272x = 3120
40x = 3120
x = 3120/40 = 78 miles per hour
x = y + 10 = y + 78
x = 88 miles per hour
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
A pair of jeans cost $45 before the sale.
The sale is taking $9 off of the original price.
Then
$45 - 100%
$9 - x%
