Answer: C. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms. Lewis is driving 50mph and is driving a distance of 900 miles. 900/50 is 18, making her total drive 18 hours long. She wants to bring her total driving time down by 3 hours, making it 15 hours. To solve this, divide 900 by 15 (900/15), and you'll get 60. Finally, subtract 60 and 50 (60 - 50), and your answer is 10. Hope this helps.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

900 divided by 50 is 18. it will take 18 hours to get to her destination at this speed.

try adding 10 to 50, to speed up by 10 mph

900 divided by 60 is 15

15 is 3 hours less than 18

What percent of 50 is 9?
d1i1m1o1n [39]
9 is 18% of 50. So, 50 percent also written as 50% means 50 out of 100 parts. Since there are exactly two 50s in 100, fifty percent is the same number as one half. 50 percent=0.5 in but as a fraction, its 1/2.

Solve the equation a minus 2 and one-half = 1 and one-half
viva [34]
A would equal 4 because you would first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions, then move the constant to the right, and finally add the factions

a-2(1/2)=1(1/2)
a-(5/2)=(3/2)
a=(3/2)+(5/2)
a=4
