The expression equivalent to the total distance Rhonda drove is 51x = 275
Given:
Distance 1:
Number of miles = 51 miles
Number of hours = 5 hours
Distance 2:
Number of miles = 55 miles
Number of hours = x hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 51 miles : 5 hours
<em>Ratio of miles to number of hours</em> = 55 miles : x hours
Equate the ratios
51 : 5 = 55 : x
51/5 = 55/x
cross product
51 × x = 5 × 55
51x = 275
x = 275 / 51
x = 5.392156862745098
Approximately,
x = 5.4 hours
Therefore, the number of hours taken to travel 55 miles is 5.4 hours

Let d be distance travelled when they are level , and t = time that nora took to get level with mason
for Nora
6 = d/t
d = 6t
for Mason
5 = d / (t + 35)
d = 5 ( t + 350
so 6t = 5(t + 35)
solve for t
Answer:
292.50 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 650 is the the principal.
r = 0.09 is the interest rate in decimal form.
t = 5 is the number of years.
i = 650*0.09*5
i = 292.50 is the simple interest.
