Answer: She would have to burn between 220 and 240 calories per minute to have a calorie burn rate between those of Martin and Paul.
Step-by-step explanation:
Martin:
360 calories / 30 min = 12 calories/min
Paul:
165 calories / 15 min = 11 calories/min
Kara:
Needs to burn between 11 and 12 calories/min, so we'll calculate the range:
11 calories/min x 20 min = 220 calories (minimum # calories she can burn)
12 calories/min x 20 min = 240 calories (maximum # calories she can burn)

Answer:
The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length
- B is the mid point of segment AC
- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length
∴ AB = BC
∵ AC = 5x - 9
∵ AB = 2x
- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length
∴ BC = 2x
∵ AC = AB + BC
- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC
∴ AC = 2x + 2x
∴ AC = 4x
∵ AC = 5x - 9
- Equate the two values of AC
∴ 5x - 9 = 4x
- Add 9 to both sides
∴ 5x = 4x + 9
- Subtract 4x from both sides
∴ x = 9
- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC
∵ AC = 4x
∵ x = 9
∴ AC = 4(9) = 36
* The measure of segment AC is 36 units
