Answer: 2 4/15 months
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a wagon train traveled from Missouri to Wyoming in 1 2/3 months and from Wyoming to Utah in 3/5 month.
The number of months that it will take the wagon train to travel from Missouri to Utah will be:
= 1 2/3 + 3/5
The common lowest multiple is 15
= 1 10/15 + 9/15
= 1 19/15
= 1 + 1 4/15
= 2 4/15 months
It will take they train 2 4/15 months to travel from Missouri to Utah.
x = lbs
y = total cost
ABC shipping: $7 + $1x = y
XYZ shipping: $10 + $0.75x = y
We set each equation equal to the other.
$7 + $1x = $10 + $0.75x. Subtract $7 from both sides and subtract $0.75x from both sides
$0.25x = $3. Divide each side by $0.25.
x = 12 lbs
When a package is 12lbs the cost is the same.
Any number over its self. for example 1,999/1,999
Use a factor tree to express 60 as a product of prime factors. So the prime factorization of 60 is 2 × 2 × 3 × 5, which can be written as 2 2 × 3 × 5. The actual prime factors of 60 are 2, 3, and 5.
