Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Suri's age=17 years

Her cousin's age =c

Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age

4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age

17=3c - 4

Find c which is her cousin's age

Add 4 to both sides

17+4=3c - 4 + 4

17+4=3c

21=3c

Divide both sides by 3

21/3=3c/3

7=c

Therefore,

C= 7

Her cousin's age = 7 years

A turtle walks 7/8 of a mile in 50 minutes. What is the unit rate when the turtle’s speed is expressed in miles per hour?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One hour is equivalent to 60 minutes.

So we can multiply 50 minutes by the fraction $\frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}$ , so we could convert 50 minutes to hours.

It is:

$50 minutes * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}=\frac{50}{60}hours$

If we simplify the fraction, we have:

$50 minutes = \frac{5}{6}hours$

b) In order to express the turtle's speed in miles per hour, we have to divide

$\frac{7}{8}miles$ by $\frac{5}{6}hours$

So:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours }$

We simplify the expression by multiplying 7 mile by 6 and 8 by 5 hours:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours}=\frac{42 miles}{40 hours} =\frac{21 miles}{20 hours}$
