takes her 20 minutes to walk 1/2 a mile
2 miles=80 minutes
1/4= 10 minutes i think
so 80+10=1 1/2
{This is not my work!!!}
x = -6 is the equation for this question.
The 4 7/8 = 39/8 = 13 pieces of string, he needs 20 so he will need to cut 7 more pieces
Set up a proportion:
y = 35 when x = 7
y = ? when x = 10
To get x from 7 to 10, you have to multiply by
. Therefore, you do the same to 35, and you get:

And your answer is 50 :)
