The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

Answer:
1,5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Chance is also referred to as probability
probability = Number of event/Total samples space
If there are 6 black socks,8 white socks,2 red socks, and 4 blue socks in a drawer, the total number of socks will be the sample space
Sample space = 6 + 8 + 2 + 4
Sample space = 20socks
Total number of blue socks is the event
Number of event = 4 blue socks
Chance that the socks is blue = n(E)/n(S)
Chance that the socks is blue = 4/20
Chance that the socks is blue = 1/5
You can set up an equation based off of the information given:
x represents the unknown number
3/5x - 1 = 23
add 1 to both sides to isolate the 3/5x
3/5x = 24
divide both sides by 3/5 to solve for x
x = 120/3
120/3 can be simplified into 40
Final answer: x = 40
Answer:
x < .6
Step-by-step explanation:
1+5x<4
Subtract 1 from each side
1-1+5x<4-1
5x<3
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 <3/5
x < .6
