Answer:
9.55 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
x hours to go to the river
0.25-x hours to come back, since 15 minutes is 0.25 hr.
to the river 40 mph * x hours =40x miles
from the river 70 mph (0.25-x) hours=17.5-70x
those two are equal
40x=17.5-70x
110x=17.5
x=17.5/110=0.159 hours
9.55 minutes
Because we know that Alicia has 32 stickers and this is 4 "times" as many as Benita has we have to do the opposite of multiplication to find how many stickers Benita has, which is division. So we take 32/4=8, giving us how many stickers Benita has.
Hope this helps!=)
x/6+4= 15
Subtract 4 from both sides; 4s cancel each other out
x/6+4-4= 15-4
x/6= 11
multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate fraction (multiply by reciprocal of 1/6)
(x/6)(6)= (11)(6)
x= 66
ANSWER: x= 66
Hope this helps! :)
