Answer:
Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given,
(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)
This can be simplified as :
(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)
Since 5 1/4 = 21/4 and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2
So we can write,
(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)
or (21/4) / (-5/2)
or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)
or -42/20
or -21/10
or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer
Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2
The answer to this question is x=6
Answer:
22 hours (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
John's velocity = 55mph
Sally's velocity = 65mph
John's time taken = x
Sally's time taken = x - 4
since they must cover the same distance.
and, distance = vel × time
Sally's vel × time = John's vel × time
55x = 65(x-4)
55x = 65x - 220
-10x = -220
x = 22 hours.
Therefore, Sally catches up after 22 hours
