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.

Glenn Andrews recently bought a new motorbike for $3,950. If he had to pay 6 percent sales tax on the bike, what was the total c
madam [21]
<span>The total cost for Glenn Andrews is the value of the motorbike plus the sales tax. The sales tax is found multiplying the value times the percent sales tax rate, divided by 100. This is, tax sales = $3950 * 6% = $ 3950 * 6 /100 = 237. And the total cost was $ 3950 + $237 = $4187.</span>

Firdavs [7]

Answer: 180 cookies


Step-by-step explanation: If 1.75 cups of flour is required to make a batch and the bakery used 5.25, the bakery made 3 batches, since 1.75(3) is 5.25. One dozen is 12 cookies, and there are 5 dozen cookies in each batch. If there are 3 batches, then there are 15 dozens of cookies. 15(12) is 180.
