Zac moved 1/5 of the things from his old bedroom to his new dorm in 32 1/2 minutes.
How long will it take in minutes for him to move all his things to his new dorm room?
I need help with the problem I want to know the equation and how to get the answer. And please tell me the answer!
:P
6 1/2 minutes? No!
0.2x = 32.5
x = 32.5 / 0.2
x =
162 1/2
4 minutes
(1/5)x = 32.5
Solve for x
Hint: I'd change 1/5 to its decimal equivalent.
Is the answer somehow 6 1/2
Connie rode the roller coaster at the amusement park. After 3 minutes, the ride was 3/4 complete. How long did the entire ride take?
To find the answer, we need to set up a ratio between the fraction of things Zac moved and the amount of time it took. We know that Zac moved 1/5 of his things in 32 1/2 minutes.
First, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number (32) by the denominator (2) and add the numerator (1), which gives us 65/2.
Now, we can set up the ratio:
1/5 = x/65/2
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
5 * (65/2) = x
Multiply 5 by 65 and divide the product by 2:
325/2 = x
Now, let's simplify the fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2:
325/2 * 2/2 = 650/2 = 325
So, Zac moved all his things to his new dorm room in 325 minutes.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem!
