To find their average miles per hour we can divide the total miles by the hour used:
4 2/3 ÷ 1 2/3
=4x3+2/3 ÷ 1x3+2/3
=14/3 ÷ 5/3
In division, when we switch the place of numerator and denominator, we can change it to multiplication which makes the calculation easier as we can factorize the numbers.
=14/3 x 3/5
Factorize 3 in both amounts:
=14/1 x 5/1
=14/5
=2.8 miles/hour
Therefore their average speed is 2.8 miles/hour.
Hope it helps!
7, 14 would be it but you have to divide the whole equation by 2 to get the y alone
Answer: Ali would need to drive 350 miles for the two plans to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by creating two equations using the information supplied in the question and then solving these simultaneously.
Let the cost be C.
Let the number of miles be M.
Let the initial payment be i.
Let the rate per mile driven be R.
Plan 1:
C = i+R×M
C = 70+0.60M ... equation 1
Plan 2:
C = i+R×M
C = 0+0.80M
C = 0.80M ...equation 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1:
0.80M = 70+0.60M
0.80-0.60M = 70
0.20M = 70
M = 70/0.20
M = 350 miles
If you multiply 9 x 3
=27
And multiplying the 10's means that the exponents need to be added
So the answer would be...
27 x 10^8
