Terrence walks at a pace of 2mi/h to the theater and watches a movie for 2 h and 15 min. He rides back home, taking the same route, on the bus that travels at a rate of 40 mi/h. The entire trip takes 3.5 h. How far along this route is Terrence's house from the theater?

The answer to your question is the theater is 6.7 mi from home

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

speed 1 = 2 mi/h

time in theater = 2h 15 min

speed 2 = 40 mi/h

time = 3.5 h

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate speed

             speed = distance / time

-Solve for time

             time = speed x time

2.- Write and equation to solve this problem

      total time = time from home to theater + time from theater to home

3.- Substitution

      3.5 = d/2 + d/40

4.- Solve for d

      3.5 = (20d + d) / 40

      140 = 21d

      d = 140 / 21

      d = 6.7 mi

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%

the answer is 21%.
