Answer:
$5
Explanation:
Since Jerry walked the dog from 6:40am to 7:30am, the total minutes that he walked the dog was 50 minutes. Also a note, an hour is 60 minutes.
Since he is paid at a rate of $6 per 60 minutes, we can make a proportion.
660=x50
From here, you have to solve for x. So cross multiply, and then simplify.
60x=50⋅6
60x60=50⋅6/60
60x60=50⋅6/60
x=5⋅6/6
x=5
So the answer is $5.
Fun
n=number of nickles
q=number of quarters
d=number of dimes
4 more dmes than nickles, 3 more quarters than dimes
d+4=n
q=3+d
total value is 455 cents
10d+5n+25q=455
divide both sides by 5 to simplify
2d+n+5q=91
now we convert all to one coin
q=3+d and n+4=d
subsitute 3+d for q and n+4 for d
2(n+4)+n+5(3+d)=91
2(n+4)+n+5(3+n+4)=91
2(n+4)+n+5(n+7)=91
2n+8+n+5n+35=91
8n+43=91
minus 43 both sides
8n=48
divide both sides by 8
n=6
sub back
n+4=d
6+4=d
10=d
q=3+d
q=3+10
q=13
6 nickles
10 dimes
13 quarters
Alright so basically what you have to do here is realize that 130 miles is 2 hours, so if you divide by 2, you’ll have 65 miles in one hour ,, so 6mph, and if you divide again by two, you have 32.5 miles ,, therefore he travels 32.5 miles in 30 minutes
