After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
Answer:
8:1
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube = Length of edge³
So the equation for the small cube is,
V=L³
If the edge of the bigger cube is twice as long as the smaller cubes edge, then the equation for the bigger cube is:
V = (2L)³
= (2³)L³
= (8)L³
Combining these two in ratio form:
(8)L³ : (1)L³
You can remove the L³ from each side because they are equal
So the answer is 8:1
Convert 20 min to hrs: 20/60 = 1/3 hr
Let t = time on the bikethent-(1/3) = time on the bus
Write a dist equation Dist = speed * time:Bike dist + bus dist = 26 mi6t + 30[t-(1/3)] = 26:6t + 30t - 10 = 2636t = 26 + 1036t = 36t = 1 hr on the bike
6 mph for 1 h = 6 mi from house to the bus station
Check solution by finding the distance6(1) + 30(2/3) =6 + 20 = 26 mi
