the coordinate grid below represents a town. Curtis's house is that - 4 - 6 engines house is at -4 3 plot the two points or Curt
is's house in Jean's house are located. each unit on the grid represents one mile. If Curtis can ride his bike at a constant rate of 12 miles per hour how many minutes would it take Curtis to ride from his house to Jean's house SHOW WORK
1 answer:
Curtis's house: (-4,-6)
Jean's house: (-4,3)
Distance: -6 to 3 = 9 miles
Curtis travels = 12 miles per hour
speed = distance / time
12 miles/hr = 9 miles / time
12 miles/hr * time = 9 miles
time = 9 miles * 1hr/12 miles
time = 0.75 hour
1 hour = 60 minutes
60 minuts * 0.75 = 45 minutes
It would take 45 minutes for Curtis to ride from his house to Jean's house
Jean's house: (-4,3)
Distance: -6 to 3 = 9 miles
Curtis travels = 12 miles per hour
speed = distance / time
12 miles/hr = 9 miles / time
12 miles/hr * time = 9 miles
time = 9 miles * 1hr/12 miles

Answer: x = 780
Step-by-step explanation: Well <u><em>percent</em></u> means <em>over 100</em> so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.
So we know that <u><em>10%</em></u> means <em>10/100</em>, <u><em>of</em></u> means times, <em><u>what</u></em> <em><u>number</u></em> means <em>x</em>, <u><em>is</em></u> means <em>equals</em>, and <em><u>12</u></em> means 12.
Notice that <em>10/100</em> can be reduced to 1/10.
So rewriting our problem we have <em>X/10 = 78</em>.
To get rid of the fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 10 and we have <em>x = 780</em>. So, 10% of 780 is 78.
Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense.
We have <em>10% of 780 is 78</em>. Well we know that 100% of of 780 would be 780 so 10% of 780 should be alot less than 780 so 78 seems to make sense.
