Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint
Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:
2:5
Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.
2:200
Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing
200 divide 5 = 40
Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:
80:200
We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:
Simplify 80 / 200
We get 2 / 5.
If you need me to further explain something please just ask :)
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.
