The time, t, it takes a runner to cover a specified distance is inversely proportional to the runner's speed. If Jann Avery runs at an average of 6 miles per hour, she
will finish a race in 2. 1 hours. How long will it take Jackie Donofrio, who runs at 4 miles per hour to finish the same race?

Answers

Answer 1

To solve this problem you will need this tool, it is the formula of speed :

speed = distance/time

(I suggest you to remember this one for life, it is a really useful one)

Let's check how long that Jackie nice dude will take to finish the race...

Jann avery runs at an average of 6 mph (miles per hour), so we already got the speed for our formula. And she will finish the race in 2.1 hours so we got the time. What do we miss ? The distance.

Let's write what we already know to solve this puzzle :

6 = d / 2.1

Where d is that unknown distance..  So we are in front of an equation here let's solve it :

d / 2.1 = 6

d = 6 * 2.1

d = 12.6 miles

Now that we know that distance, for the race, we can see if that poor Jackie Donofrio has all his chances to catch Jann Avery...

We already know his speed... and since we have the distance, we write :

4 = 12.6 / t

Where t is the unknown time, for Jackie, to finish the same race. Let's solve the equation :

4t = 12.6 (we multiplied t on each side of the equation)

t = 12.6 / 4

t = 3.15

Jackie Donofrio, who runs at 4 miles per hour, will finish the race in 3.15 hours

Good Luck

The height of a triangle is 8 times it’s base. The area of the triangle is 784 square centimeters. Find the base and height of the triangle

Answers

Let the base be x cm,
Therefore height= 8x cm

Area of triangle = 8x(x) / 2 = 784 cm2
8x^2 = 1568
x = 14

Base = 14 cm
Height = 14x8 = 112 cm

Answer:

b = 14 cm , h = 112 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Given height is 8 times base , then h = 8b and A = 784 , then

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × b × 8b = 784

b × 4b = 784

4b² = 784 ( divide both sides by 4 )

b² = 196 ( take square root of both sides )

b = [tex]\sqrt{196}[/tex] = 14

Then base b = 14 cm and height h = 8 × 14 = 112 cm

If y varies inversely as (x-3). If y = 5 when x =7 find y when x=5

The length of the fence is 12 1/2 feet and the width of the fence is 10 3/4 determine the perimeter

Answers

Answer:

46 1/2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is defined as 2 × length + 2 × width which is 12.5 × 2 + 10.75 × 2 which works out to 46 1/2 or 46.5 feet which is the answer.

The perimeter of rectangle with length of the fence is [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet and the width of the fence is [tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is 46.5 feet.

What is Area of Rectangle?

The area of Rectangle is length times of width.

Given,

The length of the fence is  [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet

[tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is changed to improper fraction 25/2

the width of the fence is [tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex]  is changed to improper fraction 43/4

Now we know that perimeter of rectangle =2(Length+width)

=2(25/2+43/4)

LCM of 2 and 4 is 4

=2(50+43)/4

=93/2

=46.5

Hence the perimeter of rectangle with length of the fence is [tex]12\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet and the width of the fence is [tex]10\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is 46.5 feet.

Line "t" crosses over lines "m" and "n". Since "m" and "n" are parallel, the angles of Line "t" are the same on either line. The angle measuring 104° is what's known as an exterior angle. In the image shown, B and G have the same measurement and so does A and H. Therefore, Angle "x" measure 104°.

(-1, 5) (3,y) m=5 whats the value of my and whats the slope <3

Answers

Answer:

slope: 5

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is m, and m = 5, so slope is 5.

y-5=5(x+1)...........set up point slope form

y-5=5x+5............distribute 5

y=5x+10..............add 5 to both sides

y=5(3)+10............plug in 3

y=25.....................simplify

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure you posted the question correctly.

m is the slope already. this comes from the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point on the line.

so, the slope is 5 (and cannot be <3).

so, using the first point we get

y - 5 = 5(x - -1) = 5(x + 1) = 5x + 5

therefore

y = 5x + 10

for (3, y) we put 3 in as x

y = 5×3 + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25

it is (3, 25) for m = 5.

17 - 6 = 11

Peter and Pam are both avid swimmers. Last week Pete swam twice as many hours s Pam. Together they swam a total of 18 hours. How many hours did each swim?

Answers

Answer:

Peter swam 12 hours, Pam swam 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam = x

Peter = y

y = 2x (this is because Peter swam twice as much)

y + x = 18 (this is because they both swam a total of 18 hours)

2x + x = 18 (substitute for y)

3x = 18

x = 6 (pam)

Now, I just need to substitute x = 6 into original equation.

y = 2(6)

y = 12 (peter)

Answer:

Peter- 12 hours

Pam- 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up an an equation.

P = Peter

18= P + (P/2)

Solve.

36=2P+p

36=3P

P=12

Peter swam 12 hours.

Then 18-12= 6, Pam's number of hours.
