That depends. what are the answer choices?
You would set it up: .5/100 = x/490 and then cross multiply .5 time 490 and 100 times x, and end up with: 245=100x. divide by 100, and get 2.45
Answer:
<h3>
-2.6m - 5</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
-(2.6m + 5) = -1(2.6m + 5) = -1•2.6m +(-1)•5 = -2.6m - 5
Dennis = 12 km'h
Kathy = 20 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
- Lets first establish that time is the same for both Kathy and Dennis and we can therefore assign is the value of <em>t</em>
- Kathy is cycling 8km/h faster than Dennis. Therefore if Dennis is doing <em>x </em>km/h Kathy is doing (<em>x</em>+8)km/h
- If it takes Kathy<em> t </em>time to cycle for 60 km at (<em>x</em>+8)km/h, we can derive the time <em>t </em>as;
(<em>x</em>+8)* <em>t </em>= 60
<em>t</em> = 60/(<em>x</em>+8)
- We can now use this time to establsish how fast Dennis is cycling. Dennis, using a speed of <em>x</em> km/h takes the same time (60/(<em>x</em>+8)) to cycle for 36 km. Therefore;
<em>x</em> * 60/(x+8) = 36
= 60x/(x+8) = 36
36 (x + 8) = 60x
36x + 288 = 60x
288 = 60x – 36x
288 = 24x
12 =<em> x </em>
Dennis is cycling at 12 km/h
Kathy is doing x + 8
= 12 + 8 = 20 km/h
