Answer:

Distance in 47 minutes = 0.75 × 47 = 35.25 miles

Distance in 1 hour or (60 minutes) = 0.75 × 60 = 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the car is traveling at a steady speed.

Distance traveled in 2 1/3 or 7/3 or (2.33) minutes = 1 3/4 miles

= 7/4 or 1.75 miles

Thus,

distance in 1 minute: 1.75/2.33 = 0.75 miles per minute

Thus,

Distance in 47 minutes = 0.75 × 47 = 35.25 miles

Distance in 1 hour or (60 minutes) = 0.75 × 60 = 45 miles

What positive whole number can you multiply by 3 and add1,or multiply by 2 and add 8?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

7 is the positive whole number which we can multiply by 3 and add 1, or multiply by 2 and add 8; and it will give the same answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the positive whole number 7 by 3 and adding 1 will get:

(7 × 3) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

Multiplying the positive whole number 7 by 2 and adding 8 will get:

(7 × 2) + 8 = 14 + 8 = 22

Therefore, 7 is the positive whole number which we can multiply by 3 and add 1, or multiply by 2 and add 8; and it will give the same answer.
