X-the number
16 + 2x = -24 |subtract 16 from both sides
2x = -40 |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = -20</u>
Answer: <em>The number is -24</em>
Since the distances were the same you can find the average speed directly by adding the speeds then dividing by 2. No need to weight anything.
If we’re considering speed regardless of direction, the average speed is:
(24 + 16) / 2 = 40 / 2 = 20mph
However if direction matters, then one number has to be negative since the directions are opposite:
(24 - 16) / 2 = 8 / 2 = 4mph (in the positive direction)
Depending on the context, either of these could be your answer.
1/4 = 2/8. Remember that. This means that 1/8 is equal to half of a month. It there is 5/8, you can add a half month for every eights. In this case, it will take 2 and a half months
Easy Way:<span>If your hair were to grow 1/4 inches a month, it would also grow 2/8 inches a month, since 1/4 = 2/8. How long with it take 1/8 (0.5/4)inches to grow? It would take a half of a month for your hair to grow 1/8 inches.
</span><span>Now that we know 1/8 inches grows in a half of a month, we add a half of a month for every eigths. Since we are trying to figure out how long it would take for it to grow 5/8 inches, we add 5 half months to get the answer of 2 and a half months. Kind of confusing, but that is the best way I can describe it.</span>
7
The answer is 7
The ratio would look like 35/7
