After traveling 345 miles the
2 answers:
d = total distance of the trip. We know that 345 miles is only 3/5 of the trip. Due to the fact that we know this, we can do some simple math to find the total distance. 345/3 = 115
115 * 5 = 575
This means we are looking for the equation which gives us d = 575.
Lets solve each problem:
A) 3/5 / d = 345. This would give us d = .0017. Which is way too small to be the total distance.
B) 3/5 * d = 345. This would give us d = 575. Seems like our answer, but lets keep trying the other ones.
C) 345 * d = 3/5. d = .0017, this is not right.
D) 345 / d = 5/3. This is d = 207, which is also wrong.
So our answer should be B.
I hope this helps! :)

The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, a rectangular container measuring 20 inches long by 16 inches wide by 12 inches tall is filled to its brim with water.
Let the new height of water level be x inches.
The volume of the container = (20×16×12) cubic inches
=3840 cubic inches
According to the problem,
3840 - (20×16×x) = 850
⇔3840 -320x = 850
⇔-320x =850-3840
⇔-320 x = -2990
⇔x = 9.34 inches
The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
