We let k be the proportionality constant for the relationship between number of hours, h and speed of the walker, s. 

                        h = k/s
Substituting the known values,
                        12 = k/5
                          k = 60

For the second scenario,
                          h = k/s
Substituting the calculated value for k and the given value for speed,
                          h = (60)(3 miles/hour)
                         h = 20 hours
                         h = 20 hours

Therefore, it will take 20 hours to walk with a speed of 3 miles per hour.

What is the distance between the points 1 - 6 + -5 2
Nata [24]
(1, -6) and (-5, 2)

Distance between 1 and -5 = 6
Distance between -6 and 2 = 8

6²+8²=x² (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)
36+64=x²
x² = 100
x = 10

Note: Not -10 because <em>distance cannot be negative.</em>

Juan takes 15 hours to do a job that his father can do in 6 hours. If juan works for 4.5 hours before his father joins him, how
ad-work [718]
Work it exactly like the other one with Wilda and Karla.

Juan takes 15 hours to do a job ... he does 1/15 of it in an hour.
His father can do it in 6 hours ... he does 1/6 of it in an hour.

Juan works alone for 4.5 hours.  In that time, he does  4.5/15 = 0.3
of the job.  When his father joins him, there's only 0.7 of it to finish.

Working together, they do (1/15 + 1/6) = (2/30 + 5/30) = 7/30 of the job
each hour.

How many times do they have to do  7/30  of the job in order to finish
the  7/10  of it that remains ?  That will be the number of hours they need.

(7/10) / (7/30) = 7/10 x 30/7 = <em>3 hours</em>.

Then they can knock off while it's still daylight, and go for a swim.
