Answer: The worm slithers 48 inches in an hour. The snail slithers 52 inches in an hour.
If we start by making both the races into equations we get 5w+4s=448 inch and 2w+3s=252 inch. If we then add both the equations together we get 7w+7s=700 inch. Then we divide it all to get 1w+1s=100 inch. Then we can subtract the second race from the first to get 3w+1s=196 inch. We now know that 2w=96 inch, and can therefor divide whit 2 to find out w=48. We can then figure out how fast the snail is moving by multiplying 48 whit w and dividing the answer by s.

Answer: The answer is 60
Step-by-step explanation: 40% = .4 because % means hundredths. So 40% = 40/100 = .4
Let x be the total number of marbles.
Then, .4x = 24
Divide both sides by .4
x = 60 and 24 is 40% of 60 marbles
62 / 15.5 = 92 / x
to find x cross multiply:-
62x = 15.5 * 92
x = (15.5*92) / 62
= 23
