A swimming pool is to be constructed in a 1,408-ft2 backyard. There is to be a fence that will surround a 12-by-24-foot pool. The pool builder wants to build a concrete paver deck of a uniform width, x, surrounding the pool and filling the entire area of the backyard. What is the width of the pool deck? 9 ft
10 ft

1)

2)

Correct choice is B

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
