Explanation:
4- Given that Bryan family's summer house is 600 miles away, and after 30 minutes, they are 562.5 miles left to their destination, to determine the distance in the following minutes the following calculations must be performed:
30 minutes --- 562.5 miles
240 minutes --- 300 miles
600 - 562.5 = (37.5) / 30 = (1.25) x 240 = 300 miles
480 minutes --- 0 miles
600 - 562.5 = (37.5) / 30 = (1.25) x 480 = 600 miles
600 minutes --- 150 negative miles
600 - 562.5 = (37.5) / 30 = (1.25) x 600 = 750 miles
5- Given that Jasmine mails 2 CDs in an envelope and the envelope weighs 6 ounces, to calculate the weight of 240 CDs the following algebraic calculation must be performed:
6/2 x 240 = X
3 x 240 = X
720 = X
Thus, 240 CDs will weigh 720 ounces.
