Answer:
how many hours?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the time, in hours, that it takes for the two bikes to meet. Let A and B be the two bicycles.
The distance travelled by each bike is given by:
Bike A: 15x
Bike B: 11x
At time x, when they meet, both bikes will have travelled a total of 364 miles:
15x + 11x = 364
26x = 364
x = 14 hours
After 14 hours of non-stop cycling, the two bikes will meet.

Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
40 = 100%
how many are 80% ?
well, 80% = 80× 1%
1% = 100% / 100
so, in our case
80% = 80×40/100 = 8×4 = 32
as a shortcut you consider a percentage x as a ratio factor of x/100 you multiply the 100% number with.
in our case
80% = 40 × 80/100 = 32
An equivalent fraction is a fraction that has the same value as another fraction, for example 1/2 can be equivalent to 2/4
Answer:
6:20
Step-by-step explanation:
57 divided by 9 = 6,333333333333
6,3 mites is almost equal to 6:20
hi,
smallest value is 8.
x^2 will always be a positive number regardless of the value of x.
the smallest value for a positive number is 0, therefore x^2 +8 will never be smaller than 8
2.5 plus 13.5 times 10
Hope that helps
