Is 2/3 greater then1/5

1 answer:

8 0

Yes, it is. To find this out, you need to make the denominators the same. They can both multiply into 15, so we change the denominators to 15. Whatever we do to the bottom, we also have to do to the top.

2/3 = 10/15

1/5 = 3/15

We can then see that 10 is more than 3 :)

Paul and Charlene are 420 miles apart. They start toward each other with Paul driving 16 mph faster than Charlene. They meet in

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

34 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be speed of Charlene, then speed of Paul will be x+16 as we are given that Paul is driving 16 mph faster than Charlene.

Let y be distance covered by Charlene, then distance covered by Paul will be 420-y.

Now we will use formula $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ . Upon using our given information we will get two equation and two unknowns as:

$x+16=\frac{420-y}{5}...(1)$

$x=\frac{y}{5}...(2)$

Upon substituting $x=\frac{y}{5}$ in 1st equation we will get,

$\frac{y}{5}+16=\frac{420-y}{5}$

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 5 we will get,

$5(\frac{y}{5}+16)=420-y$

$5\times\frac{y}{5}+5\times 16=420-y$

$y+80=420-y$

$y+80+y=420-y+y$

$2y+80=420$

$2y=420-80$

$2y=340$

$y=\frac{340}{2}$

$y=170$

Upon substituting y=170 in 2nd equation we will get,

$x=\frac{170}{5}$

$x=34$

Therefore, Charlene's speed is 34 miles per hour.

Finger [1]

215. If you divide 100,000 by 467 you get 214.132. Since you can’t have .132 of a person you need to round up to 215
