<h3>Answer:  12 & 2/3 km per hour</h3>

In decimal form, this is approximately 12.667 km per hour.

As an improper fraction, 12 & 2/3 = 38/3

==================================================

Explanation:

Let's use this formula

a & b/c = (a*c+b)/c

to convert the given mixed number to an improper fraction.

3 & 1/6 = (3*6+1)/6

3 & 1/6 = 19/6

The mixed number 3 & 1/6 is the same as the improper fraction 19/6

The hamster runs 19/6 km in 1/4 of an hour.

We can express that as the ratio

19/6 km : 1/4 hr

Multiply both parts by 4 so that the "1/4 hr" turns into "1 hr"

19/6 km : 1/4 hr

4*19/6 km : 4*1/4 hr

76/6 km : 1 hr

38/3 km : 1 hr

Harvey runs 38/3 km in 1 hour

Let's convert that to a mixed number

38/3 leads to a decimal, but 36/3 leads to a whole number

So,

38/3 = (36+2)/3

38/3 = 36/3 + 2/3

38/3 = 12 + 2/3

38/3 = 12 & 2/3

You can use your calculator to note that 38/3 = 12.667 approximately, which is also the value of 12 & 2/3, since 2/3 = 0.667 approximately. This helps confirm we did the conversion correctly.

Answer:

Subtract property of deviation becasue your subtracting 6y frrom both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Given: 12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

2)Simplify by adding 12y + (-4y): 8y - 40 = 6y - 18

3)Subtract property of deviation: 8y -6y - 40 = 6y -6y - 18

2y - 40 = -18
