Answer:

From the information given

x is time for which she ran at speed of 6mi/h and

y is time for which she biked at speed of 12.5 mi/h

total time = 3.5 h

total distance = 34 mi

so

6x + 12.5y = 34 and

x + y = 3.5

x = 3.5 - y

6 ( 3.5 - y) + y = 34

6.5y = 13 which gives

y = 2 and this

x = 1.5

so suze ran for 1.5 h and biked for 2 h

CHECK

speed of run X time of run + speed of biking x time of biking must be = total distance covered

6 × 1.5 + 12.5 × 2 = 9 + 25= 34 mi

which is true

How to solve 1/4 - -4/3 - -1 2/9
Ahat [919]

Answer:

2 29/36

Step-by-step explanation:

So circle the two signs., so the problem is now this:

1/4+4/3+1 2/9

Then you find the GCM, or Greatest Common Denominator.

It is 36. Then, you re-write the new answers

9/36+ 48/36+ 1 18/36

Now we have this:

1 65/36

The answer is 2 29/36

Lydia has half of her investments in stock paying an 11% dividend and the other half in a stock paying 14% interest. If her tota
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Based on the calculations, the amount of money she invested is equal to $3,520.

<h3>How to determine the amount invested?</h3>

First of all, we would assign variables to the amount of money that he invested at different interest rates as follows:

  • Let x be the amount of money she invested at 11%.
  • Let y be the amount of money she invested at 14%.

Since Lydia invested the same amount of money in both stocks, we have:

x = y     ....equation 1.

At the two interest rates, the total amount Lydia gets is given by:

0.11x + 0.14y = 440     ....equation 2.

Solving the equations simultaneously, we have:

0.11y + 0.14y = 440

0.25y = 440

y = 440/0.25

y = $1,760.

Thus, the total investment is given by:

Total investment = 1760 + 1760

Total investment = $3,520.
