Answer:
- 3.9 hours
- 90 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>1.</h3>
The sum of the rates of painting, in fences per hour, is ...
1/9 + 1/7 = (9+7)/63 . . . . fences per hour
The total rate in hours per fence is the inverse of that:
63/16 = 3 15/16 ≈ 3.9 . . . hours to paint the fence
__
<h3>2.</h3>
The relevant relationship is ...
distance = speed × time
Let t represent Tom's speed in miles per hour. Then George's speed is (t-36). They both have traveled the same total distance at the point where Tom catches up.
(2+3)(t-36) = 3t
2t = 180 . . . . . . . add 180-3t
t = 90 . . . . . . divide by 2
Tom's average speed is 90 miles per hour.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-14 1/9 is close to - 14
-2 and 9/10 is close to - 3
The best estimate would be 42 (14 * 3)
Estimate means you put your calculator on the kitchen counter until you've done this question.
Let's see what the actual answer is. 40.92222 which is close to 41.
42 is a pretty good estimate.
12.5 minutes becuase 25ft divided by 2 ft is 12.5
