Answer:
The rise over run is -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance to the farm is 24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the speed of Peggy be x mph. Then the speed of Mike is x + 36 mph. Find the equation of distance for Mike and Peggy to the farm.
Time taken by Mike = 0.5 hr
Time taken by Peggy = 2 hrs
Distance is calculated by the equation Distance = Speed × Time
Distance traveled by Mike = (x + 36) × 0.5
Distance traveled by Peggy = x × 2
- Step 2: Equate the 2 distances of Mike and Peggy as they are the same and find x.
(x + 36) × 0.5 = 2x
0.5x + 18 = 2x
1.5 x = 18
⇒ x = 18/1.5 = 12 mph
- Step 3: Find the distance to the farm.
Distance to the farm = 2x = 24 miles
Answer: 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3/1 ×4/5
Let's assign some random values to it, and say 1 unit of petroleum costs 100 bitcoins, because we all know bitcoins are the best currency :P
If the price goes up by 10%, it is now 100*1.1 = 110bitcoins for 1 unit.
However he's only getting 0.9 units now, so multiplying 110 by 0.9 gives us 99 bitcoins. His petroleum bill used to be 100 (which is why I picked 100 as it's easier), and now it is 99. Therefore his petroleum bill has reduced by 1%
