Let A be the speed of hiker A and B the speed of hiker B.
let's say that B is faster than A, so B=A+0.5
we know that they met after 2 hours, and the distance each walked after 2 hours is given by:
2A+2B=17

2A+2(A+0.5)=17

2A+2A+1=17

4A=16

A=4
One of the hikers travels at 4 miles per hour, the other one at 4.5 miles per hour

3 gallons in 15 seconds would be 3/15

so for 1 gallon 15/3 = 5

it would be 1 gallon every 5 seconds so 1/5

Ethan spent 12.5% of the money in his pocket on dinner. His dinner cost $15.25. How much did he have in his pocket? Group of ans
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

$122

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money in his pocket = $ x

12.5% of x = $ 15.25

\frac{12.5}{100}*x= 15.25

Multiply both sides by 100

12.5 *x = 15.25*100

125.5 *x = 1525

Divide both sides by 125.5

x = \frac{1525}{12.5}\\\\

x = $ 122

Bernice estimated that 69% of 242 is 168. Is her estimate reasonable?
ycow [4]
Her estimate is not reasonable.

Since she estimated 69%, you could do either of these options. You could...
A. Divide 242 (or .5) to show how much half off would be, then compare her estimate with half of 242 (121). OR...
B. Simply divide 242 by 69% (.69) and compaor her estimate to the exact amount (166.98).

I hope this helps!
