Work in reverse.

45 + 15= 60. 60/2= 30. 30 + x = 47.

So, x= 47-30.
x= 17.

It takes an airplane 5/12 of a minute to fly 3/4 of a mile. What is the airplanes speed per minute?
Nikitich [7]
To make this a little easier, you would want to turn 3/4 into 9/12, to match 5/12's denominator.

You would then just add 7/1 to both fractions

(5/12+7/1=12/12 or 1 minutes)
(9/12+7/1=16/12=1 1/3)

So your answer would be 1.333... miles per minute

Hope this helps

Your state charges 5% sales tax on nonfood items. You're buying a light bulb for $3.00, cereal for
dimulka [17.4K]
We first add the tax to the non-food items.  We have ($3.00+$.50)*1.05=($3.50)*1.05=$3.675 (Which can be rounded up to $3.68, since we can't have a fraction of a cent).

Now, we add the cost of the food to $3.68.  As a result, we have $3.68+$2.50=$6.18 as the total bill.
