Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Amara money be represented by a

Since Candace has $15 more than Amar. Therefore, Candace money will be = a + 15

Their total money will be 85 and this can be represented in an equation as:

a + (a + 15) = 85.

a + a + 15 = 85

2a + 15 = 85

2a = 85 - 15

2a = 70

a = 35

Amar money = $35

Candace money = $35 + $15 = $50

Choose the graph which represents the solution to the inequality. 12x + 4 ≤ -8

user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

$12x+4-4\leq -8$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$12x+4-4\leq -8-4$

Simplify:

$12x\leq \frac{-12}{12}$

Divide both sides by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12} \leq \frac{-12}{12}$

Simplify:

$x\leq -1$

Jerry has a miniature model of a boat. He knows that the boat is 3 3/4 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches long. What is the actual len

FromTheMoon [43]

Width of the miniature model = $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Length of the miniature model = $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches

The actual width of the boat = 15 feet

Let us find the actual length of the boat.

Write it in a proportion form.

width of model : length of model : : width of actual : length of actual

$$\Rightarrow 3\frac{3}{4}:5\frac{1}{2}::15:x$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{15}{4}:\frac{11}{2}::15:x$

$$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{15}{4}}{\frac{11}{2}} =\frac{15}{x}$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =15\times\frac{11}{2}$

$$\Rightarrow{\frac{15}{4}x =\frac{165}{2}$

$$\Rightarrow x =\frac{165}{2}\times{\frac{4}{15}$

⇒ x = 22

Hence the actual length of the boat is 22 feet.

I think it would be 8 miles: it would have been 2 hours, so 4 * 2 is 8 miles.
