Answer:

12:00 am midnight

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

I can read a 336-page book in 6 hours.

My rate r1 = 336/6 pages per hour = 56 pages per hour

Jayne can read a 144-page book in 3 hours.

Jayne rate r2 = 144/3 = 48 pages per hour

If I start reading a 5000-page book at noon and Jayne starts reading the same book at 10 AM

Taking 10 am as the reference time.

Let x represent the time from 10 am at which they would both be on the same page.

For me;

Since i started by noon; 2 hours after 10 am

Time t1 = x-2

For Jayne;

She started by 10 am

Time t2 = x

For them to be on the same page they must have read the same number of pages;

Number of pages read = rate × time

r1(t1) = r2(t2)

Substituting the values;

56(x-2) = 48(x)

56x - 112 = 48x

x(56-48) = 112

x = 112/(56-48)

x = 14 hours

Since 10 am is the reference, the time would be;

=10 am + x = 10 am + 14 hours

= 24:00

= 12:00 am midnight

How would you simplify 56 hundredths in fractions
garri49 [273]
First, let's divide by 4, since 4 can go into both the numerator and denominator.

56/4 = 14
100/4 = 25

That gives us 14/25.

That fraction can't be reduced further, so the simplest form of 56/100 is 14/25.

Hope that helped!

  1. Angle 1 is congruent to angle 2, since BD bisects <ABC and the two angles created on each side of the bisector at point B are equal.
  2. <2 ≅ <3 because of the corresponding angles theorem.
  3. <1 ≅ <4 because alternate angles are congruent if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal.
  4. <3 ≅ <4 by the substitution property of equality.
  5. AD/CD = EB/CB by the triangle proportionality theorem.
  6. If two angles in a triangle are congruent, the sides opposite the angles are congruent, so AE = EB.
  7. AD/CD = AB/CB by the substitution property of equality.

<h3>The properties of similar triangles.</h3>

In Geometry, two (2) triangles are said to be similar when the ratio of their corresponding side lengths are equal and their corresponding angles are congruent.

<h3>What is the substitution property of equality?</h3>

The substitution property of equality states that assuming x, y, and z are three (3) quantities, and if x is equal to y (x = y) based on a rule and y is equal to z (y = z) by the same rule, then, x and z (x = y) are equal to each other by the same rule.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the ratio of AD/CD is equal to AB/CB based on the substitution property of equality.
