Using the information that you've provided, I would say that Mr. Banks drove home at 5:15, but if you're asking what time he arrived home that would be at 6:30. :))
Answer:
The number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 16
The number of nectarines = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of peaches be = x
Let the number of nectarines be = y
Let the number of plums be = z
A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that
The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.
i.e x = 4z
The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that
Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3
i.e y = z - 3
If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.
Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21
4z + z-3 + z = 21
6z =21 +3
z = 24/6
z = 4
Therefore, the number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16
The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1
Let the time = x
Distance = Speed x time
One train is 75x, the other train 85x
Add together to equal total distance:
75x + 85x = 384
Simplify:
160x = 384
Divide both sides by 160:
x = 384 / 160
x = 2.4 hours
0.5a - 0.3 = 5
Add 0.3 to both sides:
0.5a = 5.3
Divide both sides by 0.5:
a = 10.6
