Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours
Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,
⇒ 
And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.
⇒ 
According to the question,
Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles
⇒ 

⇒ 

Answer:
21 students pass
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you can set up the problem into an equation where the variable X would equal the number of students passing. You put X over the total number of students in the class, turning it into a fraction, then set it equal to the fraction
(which is 75% represented as a fraction).

The fraction
can be simplified, because 75 and 100 are both multiples of 25, so after canceling out the 25s you would be left with
.

Next, you use the process of cross multiplication which is essentially just multiplying the denominators of both fractions (which would be 28 and 4 in this case) to each side of the equation.

The denominators cancel out leaving you with a simple equation to simplify.


Finally, divide both sides by four in order to isolate the variable.

X = 21.
