It will take Carlos 4 hours to walk 16 miles.
I am assuming its compound interest:-
Balance = 1500(1 + 0.037)^2 = £1613.05 answer
Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write a proportion:
3 buckets / 1 gallon = 1 bucket / x gallons
Cross multiply and solve:
3x = 1
x = 1/3
You need 1/3 of a gallon of water.
