I think( so correct me if i'm wrong).....Using the distance formula... D=Rate x Time, you alter it so that it equals time, since you want to find the number of weeks.
Time = Distance/ rate
SInce you start off at 2 and end up with 5, the total distance is 3 (I subtracted 5-2). And rate is already 12% (this is the iffy part, I'm not sure if you change the 12% in anyway.... but lets move on)
SO Time= 3miles/ 12% which is 1/4 of a week, or possibly.....
Time = 3 miles/ 0.12 which would equal 25 weeks.....
Do they give you these answers?
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
2(x + 5) = 26
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
<u>Distribute 2:</u> 2x + 10 = 26
<u>Subtract 10 on both sides:</u> 2x = 16
<u>Divide both sides by 2:</u> x = 8
1/2 of the class are 5th and 4th
1/2 of 96= 48
1/4 of 48 =12
I believe if I’m not wrong the answer should be B 1/6
