The answer is B, and here's why. Set up a table for "there" and "back" and use the distance = rate * time formula, like this:
d r t
there d 450 t
back d 400 1-t
Let me explain this table to you. The distance is d, we don't know what it is, that's what we are actually looking for. We only know that if we go somewhere from point A to point B, then back again to point A, the distance there is the same as the distance back. Hence, the d in both spaces. There he flew 450 mph, back he flew 400 mph. If the total distance was 1 hour, he flew an unknown time there and one hour minus that unknown time back. For example, if he flew for 20 minutes there, one hour minus 20 minutes means that he flew 60 minutes - 20 minutes = 40 minutes back. See? Now, because the distance there = the distance back, we can set the rt in both equal to each other. If d = rt there and d = rt back and the d's are the same, then we can set the rt's equal to each other. 450t = 400(1-t) and
450t = 400 - 400t and 850t = 400. Solve for t to get t = .47058. Now, t is time, not the distance and we are looking for distance. So multiply that t value by the rate (cuz d = r*t) to get that the distance one way is
d = 450(.470580 and d = 211. 76 or, rounded like you need, 212.
Changing a fraction to its decimal form can be done by long division method. Dividing the denominator by its numerator will change the fraction into decimal form. Alternatively, you can use a calculator to do that for you. Below are the fractions with their decimal forms listed:
1.) 2/5 = 0.4 (D)
2.) 7/20 = 0.35 (A)
3.) 3/25 = 0.12 (C)
4.) 7/10 = 0.7 (B)
Simplifying
x + 0.7 = 1 + -0.2x
Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving
0.7 + x = 1 + -0.2x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '0.2x' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + x + 0.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: x + 0.2x = 1.2x
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.2x + 0.2x
Combine like terms: -0.2x + 0.2x = 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + 0.0
0.7 + 1.2x = 1
Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.2x = 1 + -0.7
1.2x = 1 + -0.7
Combine like terms: 1 + -0.7 = 0.3
1.2x = 0.3
Divide each side by '1.2'.
x = 0.25
Simplifying
x = 0.25
