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

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the histogram described by the first option, the peak (18) is located at 40-50. Also, a frequency of zero is observed for range 10-20. The cluster from 20–50 means that most of the data is between this range, in fact, only 1 point is located at range 0 - 10, outside this cluster.
