Answer:
1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, let's say that her departure trip takes t in minutes, as her return speed is 3 times her departure speed, she took t/3 for the return and we know that this 40 minutes less, so we can write.
t/3=t-40
We can multiply by 3
t = 3t -40*3 = 3t - 120
This is equivalent to
3t -120 = t
We subtract t
2t-120 = 0
2t = 120
We divide by 2
t = 120/2 = 60
So this is 60 minutes = 1 hour.
Thank you.
Answer:
another way to write this is 1:3
To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation. Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication. To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.
Divide both sides of the equation by m.
Ratio is 1:3.....added = 4
1/4(48) = 48/4 = 12
3/4(48) = 144/4 = 36
the 2 groups will be 12 and 36
-35 ok that is the answer
