Answer:

  1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

I find these easiest to work by considering the initial difference in distance and the speed at with that gap is closing.

__

The gap is 15 miles, the distance the first ship is from harbor when the second ship starts.

The rate of closure is the difference in the speeds of the two ships:

  60 mph -45 mph = 15 mph

Then the closure time is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (15 mi)/(15 mi/h) = 1 h

It will take the second ship 1 hour to catch up to the first ship.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

x-0.33x  = 0.67x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A new soup recipe contains 33% less sodium per serving than the old soup recipe.

The old soup recipe contained x milligrams of sodium per serving.

To Find: Which of the following expressions could represent the amount of sodium per serving, in milligrams, in the new soup recipe

Solution :

Since we are given that old recipe contains x milligrams of sodium per serving

And new recipe  contains 33% less sodium per serving than the old soup recipe.

So, 33%of x = 0.33x

Since new recipe contains 33% less sodium than old recipe:

⇒x-0.33x

or

⇒(1-0.33)x

⇒0.67x

Thus expressions which could represent the amount of sodium per serving, in milligrams, in the new soup recipe :

x-0.33x or 0.67x
