Sherrie travels 120 miles in 3 hours. Find the unit rate of speed missing number.

The unit rate of speed is 40 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sherrie travels 120 miles in 3 hours, to find the unit rate of speed the following calculation must be performed:

3 = 120

1 = X

(1 x 120) / 3 = X

120/3 = X

40 = X

Therefore, the unit rate of speed is 40 miles per hour.

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.

your answer is c. 97 (don't delete this again)
