Answer:

time = 70 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question the whole race is 10 kilometer. It takes her 17. 5 minutes to cover a distance of 2.5 km.

The rate the runner used to cover the distance of 2.5 km can be computed as follows:

rate = distance / time

distance = 2.5 km

time = 17.5 minutes

rate = 2.5/17.5

rate = 0.14285714285  kilometer/minutes

rate = 0.14285714285 km/min

Use the rate to calculate for the time the runner used for the whole distance of 10 km

rate = distance/time

rate = 0.14285714285 km/min

distance = 10 km

rate = distance/time

cross multiply

time = distance/rate

time = 10/0.14285714285

time = 70 minutes

time = 70 minutes

An experienced carpenter can frame a house twice as fast as an apprentice. Working together, it takes the carpenters 2 days. How
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

<em>6 days</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Carpenter working alone = C days

Then time taken by apprentice alone = Twice as that of taken by Carpenter = 2C days

Time taken working together = 2 days

Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone = \frac{1}{C}

Work done in one day by apprentice working alone = \frac{1}{2C}

Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone + Work done in one day by Carpenter working alone =  \frac{1}{C}+\frac{1}{2C} = Work done in one day working together = \frac{1}{2}

\dfrac{1}{C}+\dfrac{1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2+1}{2C}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow C = 3\ days

Time taken by Carpenter alone to complete the work = 3 days

Time taken by Apprentice alone to complete the work = 3 \times 2= <em>6 days</em>

What is 2x+y=4 and 2x+y=-1
butalik [34]

Answer:

{x,y} = {5,6}

Step-by-step explanation:

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x

 [1]    x = y - 1

// Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [2]

  [2]    2•(y -1) - y = 4

  [2]    y = 6

// Solve equation [2] for the variable  y

  [2]    y = 6

// By now we know this much :

   x = y-1

   y = 6

// Use the  y  value to solve for  x

   x = (6)-1 = 5
