There were 3 parts to Ritas race she ran the first part which was 4/9 of the total distance, in 20 minutes she ran the second pa

rt which was 2/5 of the remaining distance, in 12 minutes. She finally ran the third part in 15 minutes at the speed of 300 meters per minute.
How long was the first part of the race? What was Ritas speed in that section of the race?

Answer:

300 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>

Determine the fraction of the total distance for each part of the race.

Given:

  • 1st part of race = 4/9 of total distance
  • 2nd part of race = 2/5 of remaining distance

\begin{aligned} \implies \sf 2nd\:part & = \sf \dfrac{2}{5}\:of\:remaining\:distance\\ & = \sf \dfrac{2}{5} \times\left(1-\dfrac{4}{9}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{2}{9}\:of\:total\:distance\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf 3rd\:part & = \sf 1-1st\:part-2nd\:part\\& = \sf 1-\dfrac{4}{9}-\dfrac{2}{9}\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{3}\:of\:total\:distance\end{aligned}

<u>Step 2</u>

Determine the distance of the third part of the race.

Given:

  • time = 15 minutes
  • speed = 300 meters per minute

\begin{aligned}\sf Distance & = \sf speed \times time\\& = \sf 300 \times 15\\& = \sf 4500 \:\:meters\end{aligned}

<u>Step 3</u>

If the third part of the race (which is 1/3 of the total distance) is 4500m, then the <u>distance of the whole race</u> is:

\begin{aligned} \sf Total\:distance & = \sf 4500 \times 3\\& = \sf 13500\:meters \end{aligned}

<u>Step 4</u>

Determine the distance of the 1st part of the race:

\begin{aligned}\sf Distance\:of\:1st\:part\:of\:race & = \sf \dfrac{4}{9} \:of\:total\:distance\\& = \sf \dfrac{4}{9} \times 13500\\& = \sf 6000\:meters \end{aligned}

<u>Step 5</u>

Determine the speed of the 1st part of the race:

Given:

  • time = 20 minutes
  • distance = 6000 m

\begin{aligned}\sf Speed\:of\:1st\:part\:of\:race & = \sf \dfrac{distance}{time}\\& = \sf \dfrac{6000}{20}\\ & = \sf 300\:meters\:per\:minute\end{aligned}

Divide $4800 between Kofi and Kweku so that Kofi gets three times what Kweku gets
shusha [124]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the amount Kweku gets then Kofi gets 3x , so

x + 3x = 4800

4x = 4800 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 1200

that is

Kweku gets $1200

Kofi gets 3 × $1200 = $3600

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area = Length times width

72 divided by 9 = 8

Double check: 9(length) x 8 (width) = 72 (area).

Width = 8 inches

Hope this helped! If it did, please give brainliest! :)

Find the solution of 5/2x - 7 = 3/4x + 14 <br><br> What is equal to x?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Ameliorate retort, pertaining to preceding albeit contingent interrogate proximates subject to x = 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Availing, exploiting, albeit maneuvering the Mathematic convention, Order of Operations (OO), the contiguous albeit proximate equation may ascertain as the preeminent imminent:

Groups: Not identified.

Exponents: Not identified, disparaging ₁.

Multiplication: Derived, pertaining to subtraction, 4 · (7/4x) = 4 · 21  <u>7x = 84</u>

Division: Derived, pertaining to multiplication, 7x = 84 ⇒ <em><u>x = 12</u></em>

Addition: Aggregate constants ⇒ 5/2x = 3/4x +21

Subtraction: Abate algebraic groups ⇒ 7/4x = 21

The graph of f(x)=sin(x) is transformed into a new function, g(x) , by compressing it vertically by a factor of 1/2 and shifting
Arturiano [62]
If we compress the graph of y = sin x vertically by 1/2, this gives us the equation y = \frac{1}{2} sin x. Shifting this downward (vertically) by 3 units will mean that the expression must have 3 subtracted from it, leaving the final equation of g(x) to be:
g(x) = \frac{1}{2} sin x - 3
