Answer:
always try to draw a diagram first
Step-by-step explanation:
Jana ran The first 3.5 miles in 1/3 of an hour. remember the problem tells us that we want our answer in miles per hour or mph. so we have to set up our problem so that our units match in the end. The diagram above shows 3.5 mi over 1/3 hour. so we must divide 3.5 miles by 1/3 hour
note:
therefore
Let the smaller number be x.
Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.
So, the larger number = 7x.
Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.
So we can write the equation as,
Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.
To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,
So the smaller number =
The larger number = =
So we have got the required numbers.
Smaller number = and larger number =
