Let's say her speed was x miles/hour during the first 3 miles runThen, time = distance/speedt1 = 3/x       eq1 In the next 4 miles run, her speed = x-1 miles/hourTime taken:t2 = 4/(x-1)      eq2 Now, total time:t1 + t2 = 1 3/5 hourssubstitute t1 and t2 from eqs. 1 and 2 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 1 3/5=> 3/x + 4/(x-1) = 8/5
=> 3(x-1) + 4x = 8x(x-1)/5=> 35x - 15 = 8x2 - 8x=> 8x2 - 43x + 15 = 0=> (8x-3)*(x-5) = 0=> x = 3/8 or 5 miles/hourx can not be 3/8 miles/hour because in that case, the speed during 4 miles run would be 3/8-1 = negative numberi.e. speed during 3 miles segment = 5 miles/hourand speed during 4 miles segment = 5-1 = 4 miles/hour

what is the answer to this question. please respond. I need the answer very quick.my teacher is going to get mad at me
amm1812

It is a ratio problem...

2 dogs need 144 feet = 2 : 144

Simplify the ratio = 1 : 72

Multiply both sides by 8 (8 dogs) = 1*8 :144*8

Simplify the ratio = 8 : 1152

8 dogs need 1152 feet of fencing

Hope this helps!
