It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

Vladimir is walking down the street at a speed of 4 miles per hour. Write an equation for the distance in miles, d, that Vladimi
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

d=4t

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Vladimir is walking down the street at a speed of 4 miles per hour. We are asked to write an for the distance in miles, d, that Vladimir walks over time in hours, t.

We will use rate formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times\text{Time}

Upon substituting our given information in distance equation, we will get:

d=4\cdot t

d=4t

Therefore, the equation d=4t represents the distance that Vladimir walks over time in hours.

A taxi driver charges a flat rate of $3.50 plus an additional $1.65 per mile. If Mohammad wants to spend, at most, $60, how far
Ilya [14]

Answer:

A. 34 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to subtract $3.50 from $60. Now you have $56.50. Now you want to divide that by $1.65, to see how many miles you can achieve with your price limit. So, now you have a grand total of 34.24. You round that, and you finally have your answer.

The answer to this problem is A. 34 miles

1) solve for w: 3w - 10 = 4w + 5<br> 2) solve for t:6 -2t &gt;18
Gre4nikov [31]
Problem # 1
 3w-10=4w+5
(3w-10) + (10-4w) = (4w+5) + (10-4w)
(3w-10) + (-4w+10) = (4w+5) + (-4w +10)
3w-10-4w+10 = 4w +5 -4w +10
3w-4w=15
-w=15
w= -15 (w is negative 15)

problem #2.
6-2t > 18
6-2t-6 > 18-6
-2t > 12 
(-1) (-2t) >  12 (-1)
2t > -12
next divide by 2
2t/2 > -12/2
 t >  -6     (t is greater then negative 6)
