5 meters/ 1 second because if you 40 and 8 you will get 5 and divided 8 by 8 and you get 1, you just divide the denominator by both numerator and denominator.
your answer will be 2/5 and if they want to know decimal form it is 0.4
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
The number is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number
Add 16 to the number
x+16
Is equal to 40
x+16 = 40
Subtract 16 from each side
x+16-16 = 40-16
x = 24
There is no one answer (ordered pair) to this equation and the answer is found by graphing or trying out different values for each variable. Anyway, here are some solutions; (1,0), (4,1), (0,-1/3).
