Ratio is 3:1 and the original area is 720. So 3/1 is equivalent to 720/x . X is the missing number. Set up like
3/1=720/x
Cross multiply you get 3x=720
Solve for x which is 720/3
New area is 240 square inches
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(3x - 9) = 132 + 8x
5x + 6x - 18 = 132 + 8x
11x - 18 = 132 + 8x
11x - 18 = 8x + 132
11x - 18 + 18 = 8x + 132 + 18
11x = 8x + 150
11x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 150
3x = 150
3x ÷ 3 = 150 ÷ 3
x = 50
Let n be Fritzs' car speed, and n+12 be the speed of the train. Then:
1/2 (n)=1/3 (n+12)
2n+24=3n
n=24 mph
n+12=36 mph
Fritz travels 12 miles to work.
30 min @24mph=12 miles
20 min @36mph=12 miles
