The thing you have to figure out about this is the distance for each person and the time it takes for the biker to meet the runner.  The rates we are told.  The formula is distance = rate times time.  Let's do that for the runner first.  His rate is 6 so the formula so far is d = 6t.  Now let's work on the time.  If the biker left an hour later than the runner, then the runner has been running an hour more than the biker.  Therefore, the runner's time is t + 1.  Hold off on the distance part til we do for the biker what we just did for the runner.  The biker's rate is 14, and we already decided that his time is t.  His equation is d = 14t.  Now at the exact moment the biker meets the runner their distances are the same.  So if the equation for the runner is d = 6t + 6 and the equation for the biker is d = 14t and their distances are the same, by the transitive property, their rates and times are the same as well, meaning we set them equal to each other and solve for t.  6t + 6 = 14t.  6 = 8t and t = 3/4.  This means that it took 45 minutes for the biker to meet the runner.

A parking lot is 75 feet wide and 90 feet long. What is the cost of paving the lot with concrete at $3.50 per square yard?
g100num [7]
This question is super simple when you sit down and think about what it's asking. What is the cost of the whole paving lot?

We know that the paving lot is 90 ft by 75 ft, we need to start by finding the area of the whole paving lot.

Area of a rectangle is Length multiplied by Width.

90 × 75 = 6,750

The area of the paving lot is 6,750 feet squared.

Now we need to find the cost of the paving lot, we know that one square yard costs $3.50 to pave.

We can solve this by first taking the step to finding how many yards are in the paving lot.

A yard is 3 feet so we'll divide the area of the paving lot by 3.

6,750 ÷ 3 = 2,250

With the paving lot having 2,250 square yards we can now multiply this by the $3.5 cost per square yard.

2,250 × 3.5 = 7,875

It should cost $7,875 dollars to pave the entire lot.
