Distance = rate times time.

Let the first cyclist's rate be r1 and the 2nd cyclist's rate be r2.

Let r2 = r1 + 10 (km per hour).

The total distance between them after 3 hours is 174 km; using the distance= rate times time formula, we also get:

r1(3 hrs) + r2(3 hrs) = 174 km
Then
r1(3 hrs) + (r1+10)(3hrs) = 174 km

Then 3r1 + 3r1 + 30 = 174

6r1 = 144, and r1 = 24 km/hr. Then r2 = (24 + 10) km/hr = 34 km/hr.

Answer:

25.1cm

Step-by-step explanation:

C=2πr

here radius, r=4 cm and π=3.142

Put values in formula.

C=2(3.142)(4)

C=25.1 cm (Rounded to 1 decimal place)

Name two solutions for each inequality.

ahrayia [7]

So,

#1: $n \geq 3 \frac{11}{16} + 4 \frac{1}{2}$

Convert to like improper fractions.
$n \geq \frac{59}{16} + \frac{72}{16}$

Add.
$n \geq \frac{131}{16}\ or\ 8 \frac{3}{16}$

So, one solution could be $8 \frac{3}{16}$ .

Another solution could by 9. There is also 10, 11, 12, etc., and all numbers in between.

#2: $k \ \textless \ 6 \frac{2}{5} * 15$

Convert into improper fraction form.
$k \ \textless \ \frac{32}{5} * 15$

Multiply.
$\frac{(2^5)(3)(5)}{5}$

Cross-cancel, and we have our final result.
$(2^5)(3) = 96$
k < 96

96 is not a solution.

95 is a solution.

So is 94, 93, 92, etc, and all numbers in between.

REY [17]

Answer: Reduction

Step-by-step explanation: If the scale factor of a dilation is between 0 and 1, the image will be smaller than the object, a reduction. It would only be an enlargement if the scale factor is greater than 1.
