Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am 
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km

The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours

17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km

The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km

The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km

The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

a beverage is made by mixing 3 parts of water with 5 parts of fruit juice how many parts of water are mixed with 1 part on fruit
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

\frac{3}{5}=0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the initial ratio of 3 parts water to 5 parts fruit juice, you can set up a proportion (equivalent ratios) to determine the amount of water needed with just 1 part of fruit juice:

\frac{water}{fruit}=\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x}{1}

cross multiply: 5x = 3

divide: 5x/5 = 3/5 or x = 3/5

3/5 = 0.6 parts water

Help please! I’m giving brainliest to however gets this question right.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

They both have area 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square:

base*height = 2 * 2 = 4

Area of the triangle:

Using the left-side of the triangle as the base, and the height from the left-side to the bottom-right corner:

\frac{1}{2}base*height

\frac{1}{2}4\sqrt2*\sqrt2=4

We know the length of the diagonal is \sqrt2 as we are using a centimetre grid, so we can create an isosceles triangle with side lengths 1 and our unknown length, we can then use Pythagorean Theorem to work out our unknown side length.

a^2+b^2=c^2

1^2+1^2=c^2

2=c^2

\sqrt2=c

One third of the opposite of a number is less than 12. Write and inequality.
fenix001 [56]
X= a number

The opposite of a number is its negative opposite. It's the additive inverses of a number. The additive inverse of 4 is -4. It will always equal zero when added together.

Inequality:
1/3(-x) < 12

Hope this helps! :)
