The key is Esther travelled the same distance - x - in both her morning and evening commute.
45(time she took in the morning, or p) = x
30(time she took in the evening, or q) = x
Therefore 45(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 9(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time.
Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q.
Therefore 9(60-q) = 6q or 540-9q = 6q. So 540 = 15q, which makes q = 36. If q = 36, then by (p+q)=60, p (the time she took in the morning) must equal 24.
45 miles per hour, her speed in the morning, times (24/60) hours, her time, makes 18 miles travelled in the morning. If you check, 30 miles per hour times (36/60) hours also makes 18 miles in the evening.

You subtract 38.75 from 46.5, which is 7.75. 7.75/46.5=about .16666, or 16.7 percent.
Answer:
a = -4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
(9a + 4) = 0
Subtract 4 from each side
9a + 4-4 = 0-4
9a = -4
Divide each side by 9
9a/9 = -4/9
a = -4/9
Answer: number (3)
Explain:
Set it up kind of like a picket fence. Put 149 g over one cm and multiply that by 1kg over 1000g then multiply that by 1 cm over .01 m. The answer is 14.9 kg/m
