Answer:

12 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance/time

Distance = 20.4 miles
Time = 17 minutes = 17*1/60 hours = 17/60 hours

Speed is:

20.4 : 17/60 =
20.4*60/17 =
72 mph

Alyn exceeded the limit by:

72 - 60 = 12 mph

One printing press can print the whole school newspaper in 12 hours, while another press can print in 18 hours. How long will th

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7 Hours 12 Minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So they one of the printer increases at a rate of 1/12 and the other increases at a rate of 1/18. Since you don't know the time it actually takes, you will replace both numerators with and x. (x/12 and x/18). You want to set these up so that they are adding. (x/12 + x/18=1). Since you're adding, you want to change it to the same denominator. The lowest is 36 so you multiply x/12 by 3/3 (so you don't unbalance the equation) and x/18 by 2/2. You'll end up with 3x/36 + 2x/36= 1 which will simplify to 5x/36=1. Multiply each side by 36 to leave the variable by itself. It becomes 5x=36 and when you divide it by 5 you get 7.2. So it's seven and .2 hours, which is equivalent to7 and 1/5 of an hour or 7 hours and 12 minutes.

Hello!

❖ She has 173 pages left to read.

73 + 68 = 141

314 - 141 = 173

At the beginning of the bake sale merry set aside two pies for herself Kate bought half of the remaining pies for a birthday par

nirvana33 [79]

So.. .at the beginning of the sale, there was a total of "x" pies

now, let's see what happened to those pies
$\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
&pies\\\\
&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\\

Mary&x-2\\\\
Kate&\cfrac{x-2}{2}\\\\
\textit{pies sold}&10\\\\
\textit{pies leftover}&14
\end{array}$

so, we had "x"
then Mary took 2, she left x - 2
Kate took half of that (x-2)/2
then 10 were sold, and 14 leftover

if we subtract all those figures, and solve for "x",
we should get what "x" was, so $\bf (x-2)-\left( \cfrac{x-2}{2} \right)-10-14=0$

notice, if we subtract what Mary took, and Kate, and the sold and leftover, from the original "x", we would end up with no pies :)

so.. just solve for "x"
