The GCF of 24, 40, and 72 is 8.
The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The factors of 40 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40
The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72
Answer:
560 ft/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent Samantha's running rate in feet per minute. Then r-230 is her walking rate. We can use the relation ...
distance = speed × time
to write an equation for the total distance Samantha went.
20r + 15(r -230) = 16150
35r - 3450 = 16150 . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
35r = 19600 . . . . . . . . . . add 3450
r = 560 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of r
Samantha ran 560 feet per minute.
