It takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet if their houses are 4 miles apart

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "t" be the number of hours it will take them to meet

Walking speed of Fred = 3 miles per hour

Walking speed of John = 2 miles per hour

Distance between their house = 4 miles

<em><u>Distance is given by formula:</u></em>

Distance = speed x time

Fred distance = walking speed of Fred x time taken

Fred distance = 3t

John distance = walking speed of John x time taken

John distance = 2t

Therefore,

3t + 2t = 4

5t = 4

t = \frac{4}{5} hours

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

\frac{4}{5} \text{ hours } = \frac{4}{5} \times 60 \text{ minutes } = 48 minutes

Thus it takes \frac{4}{5} hours or 48 minutes before they meet

What the solution 2(4+2x)≥5x+5
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4+2x) ≥ 5x+5      (by PEDMAS, expand parentheses first)

4(2) + 2x(2) ≥ 5x + 5

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5   (subtract 8 from each side)

4x ≥ 5x + 5  - 8

4x ≥ 5x - 3    (subtract 5x from both sides)

4x -5x ≥ - 3

-x  ≥ - 3  (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the inequality when multiplying both sides by a negative number)

x ≤ 3

Please help anyone and thank you

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements that are true are statement 1 and statement 4:

- The sum of pi and 0 is irrational.

- The product of \frac{9}{5} and \sqrt{19 } is irrational.

Pi is an irrational number, and the square root of 19 is irrational. That's because these numbers can't be put into a simplified fraction to encompass all the digits it contains.
