Answer:
120 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
large horse + small horse = together
1 pool/40 minutes + x = 1pool/30 minutes
1/40 + x = 1/30
subtract 1/40 from both sides
x = 1/30 - 1/40
use 120 as common denominator
x = 4/120 - 3/120
x = 1/120
x = 1 pool / 120 minutes
It takes the small horse 120 minutes
Answer:
9670 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?
we translate word problem to equation.
8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL
Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85
Remember, is means =
of means multiplication
So we have:
8219.5 = 0.85 * Total
Hence, total = [let total be 7]
8219.5 = 0.85 * t
t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet
Answer: 26ft
Divide 6.5 by .25 since .25 = 1/4
which equals 26
