Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratios as equivalent fractions, that is

\frac{x-20}{x+280} = \frac{1}{4} ( cross- multiply )

4(x - 20) = x + 280

4x - 80 = x + 280 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 80 = 280 ( add 80 to both sides )

3x = 360 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 120

A teacher has 3 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in her class. She gets through the first 5 papers in
Andreyy89
So, she has 3hrs to grade all papers, for 35 students.. alrite.

the first 5, she does them in 30minutes.. what's the speed rate? well, 5/30 or 1/6

now, she has still 2 hours and a half, or 150 minutes, to do the remaining 30 papers... she has to work at a rate of 30/150 then... which is 1/5 simplified.

now if we take 1/6 as the 100%, what is 1/5 in percentage then?

\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
rate&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{6}&100\\\\
\frac{1}{5}&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}\cdot \cfrac{5}{1}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{6}=\cfrac{100}{x}
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{6\cdot 100}{5}\implies x=120

so 1/5 is 120% in relation to 1/6... meaning the rate of 1/5 she needs to move through, namely 1 paper every 5 minutes, is 20% faster than 1/6.
