. One car traveled 210 miles and drove 20 mph hour faster than a second car drove 150 miles. If the cars were traveling for the
1 answer:
Answer:
The first car was traveling 70 mph, while the second was driving 50 mph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the cars as a proportion:
X represents the speed of the second car. By cross multiplying, you get the following equation:
You solve by distributing 150 to get 210x = 150x + 3000.
Solving for x gets you 50.
That means the first car was going at 50 mph. Adding 20, you get 70 as the speed for the second car.

Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 cans of beans had a total weight of 2.4 Pounds
Therefore:
- 1 can of beans = (2.4 ÷ 3) =0.8 Pounds
The following applies from the options.
- y=0.8x where y is the weight and x is the number of cans.
- A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.
Using y=0.8x
When x=5, y=0.8 X 5=4
When x=15, y=0.8 X 15=12
When x=20, y=0.8 X 20=16
- On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12). This can be clearly seen from the table above as (5,4) and (15,12) are points on the line.
