2. An airplane is flying from New York City to Los Angeles. The distance it travels in miles, d, is related to the time in seconds, t, by the equation d=0.15t.

How long will it take to go 12.75 miles?

Answer:

1. 24 quarts. 2. 85 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to know how many 2/3 are in 4.

if 3/3 are in 1 cup, then 12/3 are in 4 cups.

there are 6 twos in 12, so there are 6*2/3 cups in 4 cups.

Each 2/3 needs 4 quarts of green, and we have six times that.

6*4 = 24, so we need 24 quarts of green paint.

2. The 12.75 miles would go in the "d" or distance part of the equation.

d = 0.15t

12.75 = 0.15t  (divide both sides by 0.15)

12.75/0.15 = 0.15t/0.15

t = 85, so 85 seconds.

12.75 miles isn't the distance between the two cities, it's much farther, so this answer makes sense.
