Well, 10 can go into 56, 5 times, so your whole number would be 5.
Then 50 (where did i get 50 from? 5 times the ten is 50) minues 56 is 6. So it would be :
5 and 6/10 (your denominator stays the same)
But it needs o be simplafied to its lowest terms. They are both divisable by 2, SOO 6 divided by 2 is 3, and 10 divided by 2 is 5 So, your new fraction is:
5 and 3/5 in which it cant be simplafied anymore.
<em>~ 5 3/5 </em><em>is your answer :)</em>
Use the distance formula
And just plug in your numbers and solve
Answer:
y=40-15x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours.
We have been given that Dudley travels 30 miles every 2 hours, so distance covered in each hour by Dudley would be:
.
Since Dudley travels 15 km per hour, so distance covered in x hours would be 15x.
We have been given that Dudley wants to cover 40 miles. So we can represent our given information in an equation as:
, where, y represents number of miles he has left to travel, after biking x hours.
Answer:
5x + 6y = 20_____(1)
8x - 6y = -46_____(2)
Solving simultaneously:
Eqn(1) + Eqn(2)
5x + 8x + 6y + (-6y) = 20 + (-46)
13x = -26
x = -2
substituting this into Eqn (1):
5(-2) + 6y = 20
-10 + 6y = 20
6y = 30
y = 5
hence:
x = -2,y = 5.
