The best way to solve this one is with a proportion:
(15 steps) / (5 minutes) = (75 steps) / ('x' minutes)
Cross-multiply the proportion: 15 x = 5 x 75
Divide each side by 15 : x = 5 x 5 = <em>25 minutes</em>.
You are correct, and Paul walks very slowly.
Use two pints on the graph to find the slope:
(0,0) and (5,1)
Slope = Change in Y over the change in x.
Slope = (1-0) / (5-0) = 1/5 = 0.20
The slope of the given equation is 0.25 which is greater than 0.20.
The unit rate is greater in the equation.
Given that Li is making beaded necklaces for each necklace, she uses 27 spacers, plus 5 beads per inch of necklace length.
The equation to find how many beads Li needs for each necklace can be obtained as follows:
A. The input variable is the number of inches of the necklace length (x).
B. The output variable is the number of beads Li needs for each necklace (y).
C. The required equation is given by
y = 5x
Answer: Running speed is 10k/h
Biking speed is 50k/h
Step-by-step explanation:
My procedure may be unconventional, but it works:
Compute the time it takes, then translate to speed. 25k at biking speed takes 2 hours less than at running speed which is 1/5 bike speed.
Distance/speed = time 25/x=25/(5x-2) cross multiply divisors
25(5x-2) = 25x ==> 125x -50 =25x ==> 100x = 50
x = 0.5 hours at biking speed 25k/0.5h = 50k/h
Running speed = 50/5 10k/h
Proof: 25k/ 10k/h = 2.5 hours
25k /50k/h = 0.5 hours
2.5 h - .5 h = 2 hours, the difference stated in the question.
