A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:
rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles
4(x+5)+6=2(2x+3)
4x+20+6=4x+6
4x+26=4x+6
Get letters on left...so subtract 4x from right and do same to left
26=6
no solution because 26 does not equal 6
The ratio of the areas of the two polygons can be 25:45
Just Multiply the two give numbers by 5 and you get the answer.
