<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
it is between 1 and 3 but i would go for 3, if choose all that would choose 1,2,3
Answer: 10
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
varies directly means: 
Step 1: solve for k ⇒ 
Step 2: plug in the given value and k to solve for the missing value: 
42(5) = 21(x)
2(5) = x
10 = x
Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
times 3x5 then add 18+20
Answer:
75.5102040816%
Step-by-step explanation:
so the answer is 75% or 75.5%
37 x 100 =3,700
3,700 ÷ 49 =75.5102040816% so the actual answer is 75% bc they want you to round but its 6 and above to round up do you round down to 75%
