Jade takes 5 minutes more than twice as long as Binh to ride to their friend’s house. If Binh takes x minutes to ride to his friend’s house, how long will it take Jade?

It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the expression that represents the time Jade will take

∵ Binh takes x minutes to ride to his friend’s house

∴ The time Binh takes = x minutes

∵ 5 more means + 5

∵ Twice means × 2

∵ Jade takes 5 minutes more than twice as long as Binh to ride to their

   friend’s house

→ Multiply the time Binh takes by 2 and add the product by 5

∵ Binh takes x minutes

∴ The time Jade takes = 2 × x + 5

∴ The time Jade takes = 2x + 5 minutes

∴ It will take Jade (2x + 5) minutes

three-fourths of an hour

36÷48=0.75

0.75=
