Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:
Cross multiplying gives you:
The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you
That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:
So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
Answer: 3 miles per hour
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Use the formula "distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)" to create a system of equations.
Let "r" represent the rate they are rowing
Let "c" represent the current
time rate distance <u>EQUATION</u>
Downstream: 4 hours r + c 40 miles 4(r + c) = 40
Upstream: 10 hours r - c 40 miles 10(r - c) = 40
Distribute, then eliminate r to solve for c:
Down: 4r + 4c = 40 → 5(4r + 4c = 40) → 20r + 20c = 200
Up: 10r - 10c = 40 → -2(10r - 10c = 40) → <u>-20r + 20c</u> =<u> -80</u>
40c = 120
<u> ÷40 </u> <u>÷40 </u>
c = 3
Let's solve the inequality. Subtract 5 from both sides. The result will be
<span>x ≥ 5. This states, "x is equal to or greater than 5."

Plot 5 on the number line, using a dark solid dot. Then draw an arrow from that point to the right.
