Given:
An athlete who makes laps in 3 mins 45 seconds on a 400m field.
To find:
The speed of the athlete in m/s.
Solution:
We know that,
Distance covered in 1 lap = 400 m
Distance covered in laps =
m
= m
= m
We know that,
1 minute = 60 seconds
3 minutes = 180 seconds
3 minutes 45 second = 180 + 45 seconds
= 225 second
The speed of the athlete is:
Therefore, the speed of the athlete is about 8.44 m/s.
30 pounds of raspberries and 50 pounds of blueberries are sold
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the pounds of raspberries sold
Let "b" be the pounds of blueberries sold
Cost per pound of raspberry = $ 1
Cost per pound of blue berry = $ 3.25
<em><u>Maya made $192.50 from selling a total of 80 pounds of raspberries and blueberries</u></em>
Therefore,
a + b = 80
a = 80 - b ------- eqn 1
<em><u>Maya made $192.50. Therefore, frame a equation as:</u></em>
pounds of raspberries sold x Cost per pound of raspberry + pounds of blueberries sold x Cost per pound of blue berry = 192.50
a + 3.25b = 192.50 ------ eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>
80 - b + 3.25b = 192.50
2.25b = 192.50 - 80
2.25b = 112.5
Divide both sides by 2.25
b = 50
<em><u>Substitute b = 50 in eqn 1</u></em>
a = 80 - 50
a = 30
Thus 30 pounds of raspberries and 50 pounds of blueberries are sold
