Answer:

It will take 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know distance = rate * time

Sally's rate = 55

Jim's rate = 65

We want Jim to be 100 miles ahead of Sally

The time will always be the same.

d =Sally's distance


Sally

d = 55t


Jim

d+100 = 65 t


We know have 2 equations with 2 unknowns.  Substitute d= 55t into Jim's equations

55t + 100 = 65t

Subtract 55t from both sides.

55t-55t + 100 = 65t-55t

100 = 10t

divide each side by 10

100/10 = 10t/10

10 = t

- Olivia skates twice as far as Stephanie. This sum of their distances is 96 miles per month. How many
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

B.64 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Oliver's be x

Let Stephanie's be y

x = 2y -  -  - (a) \\ x + y = 96 -  -  - (b)

substitute for x in (b):

2y + y = 96 \\ 3y = 96 \\ y = 32

find x in (a):

x = (2 \times 32) \\ x = 64

Connor took out a 4 year loan to buy a car at a 4% simple interest rate. if he has to pay $240 in interest, how much principal d
uysha [10]

Answer:

The principal borrow for loan is $1,500 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The interest paid on simple interest = s.i = $240

The rate of simple interest applied = r = 4%

The time period for loan = t = 4 years

Let The principal borrow = $p

Now,<u> from Simple Interest method</u>

Simple Interest = \dfrac{\textrm principal\times \textrm rate\times \textrm time}{100}

Or. s.i = \dfrac{\textrm p\times \textrm r\times \textrm t}{100}

Or, $240 = \dfrac{\textrm p\times \textrm 4\times \textrm 4}{100}

Or, $240 × 100 = 16 × p

Or, $24000 = 16 × p

∴ p = \dfrac{24000}{16}

i.e p = $1,500

So, The principal borrow for loan = p = $1,500

Hence, The principal borrow for loan is $1,500 . Answer
