Answer:

16.364 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Claire = 6 miles per hour

Speed of Megan= 5 miles per hour

Distance from camp site to out post = 18 miles

Time for Claire to travel=18/6= 3 hours

Time for Megan to travel = 18/5 = 3.6 hours

The time they meet will be equal

Claire distance= 18 + x

Megan distance = 18-x

Claire time =( 18+x)/6

Megan Tim =( 18-x)/5

(18+x)/6 =(18-x)/5

5(18+x)= 6(18-x)

90 +5x = 108-6x

11x=18

X=18/11

X=1.636 Miles

So the distance from the Outpost to where they meet = 18-1.636

= 16.364 miles

What is the length of segment AB? <br> 5<br> 6<br> 8<br> 10
raketka [301]
Hi! So what this is asking for is how LONG the line is, not how tall. So you see B. It is on 0. And you go to A, it is on 6. Zero from 6 is 6. So 6 is your answer.

Solve the equation x² = 1.21 *
gogolik [260]

Answer:

x = 1.1, -1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Take the root of both sides and solve.

\sqrt{1.21} = 1.1

2) x can also equal -1.1 because -1.1 times -1.1 gives us a positive 1.21 because negative x negative = positive

Hope this helps!
