Answer:

120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if you represent 2 1/2 hours in 5 sections of 30 minute and devide 150 by 5 you get 30 so the train is traviling 1 mile per minute so just subtract 30 and you get 120

quester [9]

The amount of money Kyle paid is $25.

<h3>Determine the price of nachos and chocolates </h3>

Two simultaneous equations can be derived from the question:

3n + 3c = $45 equation 1

n = 2c equation 2

Where:

n = price of nachos
c = price of chocolate

In order to determine the price of chocolates, please substitute for n in equation 1.

3(2c) + 3c = $45

6c + 3c = $45

9c = $45

c = $45/9 = $5

In order to determine the price of nachos, please substitute for c in equation 2:

n = 2($5)

n = $10

<h3>Amount Kyle paid </h3>

2($10) + $5

$20 + $5

= $25

gulaghasi [49]

Each tweet would cost between 1 and 140 pennies you can write that as an inequality [1 ≤ x ≤ 140] Since you can't tweet 0 characters or above 140.

if you want to change it to pounds divide by 100.

A) 1 ≤ x ≤ 140

B) Each character costs a penny, you can't tweet less than 1 character or above 140.

Hi I need this asap if you also explain the work on how you got answers plz and thank you<br>

Answer:

<u>Q/ Draw a line ; Ans; </u>

$\frac{9}{5} —>1 \frac{4}{5}$

*explain ; We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 4 so equal 9 so the choice 9/5 .

Ans; 7/3—> 2 1/3

*explain ; We put the 3 in the denominator and 3 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 7 so the choice 7/3 .

Ans; 12/10 —> 1 1/5

*explain; simple (12 and 10) ÷ 2 so equal 6/5

We put the 5 in the denominator and 5 multiply 1 + 1 so equal 6 so the choice 6/5 =12/10 .

$\frac{12 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{6}{5} = 1 \frac{1}{5}$

<u>Q/ Compare the fractions;Ans;</u>

$\frac{2}{3} < \frac{14}{6}$

* explain; 2/3 = 0.66 and 14/6=2.33 so 2.33 greater from 0.66 so 14/6 greater from 2/3 .

$\frac{3}{8} < \frac{8}{3}$

* explain; 3/8 = 0.375 and 8/3=2.666 so 2.666 greater from 0.375 so 8/3 greater from 3/8 .

$2 \frac{1}{6} > \frac{5}{9}$

* explain; 2 1/6 —> We put the 6 in the denominator and 6 multiply 2 + 1 so equal 13 so equal 13/6

13/6 = 2.16 and 5/9=0.55 so 2.16 greater from 0.55 so 13/6 = 2 1/6 greater from 5/9 .

<u>Q/Add; Ans;</u>

$\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{7 + 5}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \frac{1}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{ 1+6 }{9} = \frac{7}{9}$

<u>Q/Subtract; Ans;</u>

$\frac{6}{7} - \frac{4}{7} = \frac{6 - 4}{7} = \frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{7}{3} - \frac{2}{9} \\ \\ \frac{21}{9} - \frac{2}{9} = \frac{21 - 2}{9} = \frac{19}{9}$

<u>Q/ Multiply;Ans;</u>

$\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}$

<u>Q/Divide;Ans;</u>

$\frac{3}{4} \div \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{15}{8}$

$\frac{8}{9} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{24}{9} = \frac{8}{3}$

I hope I helped you^_^

You have been given the task of transporting 3,000 apples 1,000 miles from Appleland to Bananaville. Your truck can carry 1,000

chubhunter [2.5K]

If the truck can carry 1000 apples at a time, Bananaville is 1000 miles away from Appleland and you pay one apple per mile, then it's impossible to deliver any apple to Bananaville, because on 1000 miles you'll pay 1 apple * 1000 miles = 1000 apples as a tax. So no matter if you go once, twice, three times or a hundred times there - you'll be never able to deliver any apple.

Answer: The highest number of apples you can get to Bananaville is 0.
