Problema Solution
Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.
How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.
Grayson did not simplify the question
You would have $660. The trick for 10% of something is to move the decimal one place to the left. The decimal is “hidden” to the right of the last 0. Add that interest on to get your answer!! Good luck!
Answer:
using Pythagoras rule, 16^2 -7^2 =a^2
so 256-49 = 297.
√207 =14.38 to the nearest tenth of an inch is 14inch.which is your answer
