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

Find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).
Sophie [7]

ANSWER

9

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between the points (3, -5) and (-6, -5).

The given points have the same y-coordinates .

This means it is a horizontal line.

We use the absolute value method to find the distance between the two points.

We find the absolute value of the distance between the x-values.

The distance between the two points is

|3--6|=|3+6|=|9|=9

Choose the set of equivalent fractions that correctly uses the LCD for these fractions 3/4 and 1/6
valina [46]

Answer: 9/12, 2/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing multiples of 6 and 4

4: 4, 8, 12

6: 6, 12, 18

Did you see the multiple that both numbers have? Yup, it's 12. So that has to be your denominator for both fractions. This is because you have to have the <u>LEAST</u> COMMON Denominator (LCD). So both numbers have 12 in common as one of their multiples and, it's the least common one because there are no numbers that come before it that are common for both numbers. Now, you just have to change the denominators of both fractions into 12. To do that to 3/4, just multiply the top and bottom by 3 to get 9/12. To do that to 1/6, just multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/12.  Hope this helps!

NOTE: REMEBER THAT WHATEVER YOU DO TO THE TOP OF A FRACTION, YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO THE BOTTOM TOO (AND VICE VERSA)
