Answer:
1. The entire course is 160 meters :) 2. Her essay is 18 pages long.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The first step is to divide 60 by 3. That makes 20. So 20 is 1/8 of the entire course. Then you multiply 20 by 8 and you have 160. That makes the whole course 160 meters long.
You use the same steps for 1. to solve this one too!
2. The first step is to divide 15 by 5. That makes 3. So, 3 is 1/6 of the essay. Then you multiply it by 6. That makes 18. There are 18 pages in the essay. Hope this helped.
Answer:
This is easy and the answer is yes
(5,-3) should be the answer but I’m not sure hope I helped you out
Entire distance = 1,320
Entire time = 5 hours
bus avg = 40 km/h
plane avg = 600 km/h
Working this by trial and error
1 hour bus 4 hour plane = 40 + 2,400 = 2,800 distance (too high)
2 hour bus 3 hour plane = 80 + 1,800 = 1,880 distance (too high)
3 hour bus 2 hour plane = 120 + 1,200 = 1,320 distance (Correct!!)
So, they traveled 3 hours by bus and 2 hours by plane
(yes, you had the right answer).
You can solve this problem by creating a system of equations and solving by substitution. This allows you to solve for one of the unknown values (in this case, the number of short answer and number of multiple choice) and you can then solve for both, if you would like.
The two variables in your equations standing in for these missing values represent the number of short answer (s) and the number of multiple choice questions (m).
First create an equation for the number of total questions on the test. The total number of multiple choice and short answer questions is 45:
m + s = 45
Then create an equation with these variables representing the number of points on the test. The point values for each question will be the variable coefficients (numbers that the variables are multiplied by in this problem).
2m + 5s = 120
Now you can take the first equation - since it is simpler, the variables don't have coefficients so it only requires subtraction to get one variable by itself - solve for one of the variables, and substitute the result into the second equation in place of that variable. You will then be able to solve for that variable!
First, solve for m in the first equation by moving the m to one side of the equals sign by itself. It then becomes 45 - s = m
Now put (45-s) into the second equation in place of m.
120 = 2(45-s) + 5s
Distribute the 2(45-s)
120 = 90 - 2s + 5s
Add the "s" expressions together. Subtract 90 from both sides.
30 = 3s
Divide by 3 and find that s = 10
There are 10 short answer questions on the test.
