At the end of spring break, lucy left the beach and drove back towards home, driving at a rate of 40 mph. lucy's friend left the beach for home 30 minutes (half an hour) later, and drove 50 mph. how long, in hours, did it take lucy's friend to catch up to lucy?

Lucy's friend makes up for Lucy's 20-mile head start at the rate of 10 miles per hour. Lucy's friend will catch up with Lucy after (20 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 2 hours.

One shot. if 60% of 10 is 6, then what is 70%? we know it would be seven (since 60% is mathematically 60/100, or 6/10, then 70% is 70/100, or 7/10) but we can check anyway using ratios: 6 : 60% = x : 70%*inverse multiplicationx * 60% = 6 * 70%*divide both sides by 60%x = (6 * 70%) / 60%x = 7and since he has made 6 shots already, he would need just one more to get 7 shots or 70%. if the explanation is too confusing, comment and i will try to
