We need to calculate a total TIME.  
Let the time required to cover distance d at 20 mph be x.  d is the ONE WAY distance, not the total distance traveled (which would be 2d).

Remember the formula d=rt:  the distance traveled equals the rate times the time.  Here, d = rx, and thus x = d/r  = d/(20mph)

Let's begin by recognizing  that       d(going) = d(returning)
Then                                            (20 mph)x   = 6 + (16 mph)x

                                                      (20 mph)x - (16 mph)x = 6 miles
Then:                                                    (4 mph)x = 6 miles
or:                                                             x = 1.5 hours

It takes the bird 1.5 hours at 20 mph to cover distance d, which is 30 miles.
Thus, the total time spent flying is 1.5 hours (going) and [1.5 hours + (6 miles)/(16 mph) returning:

                            1.5 hours + 1.5 hours + 0.375 hours = 3.375 hours total.

The total distance covered is 2d, or 2(30 miles) = 60 miles.

It took me a while and a lot of experimentation to arrive at these results.  Please, if my arguments here are not clear, ask questions.

Dennis and Connie purchased a radio for $128. Dennis paid $36 more than Connie. How much did each pay?
never [62]

Answer:

Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.

c + c + 36 = 128

Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128

Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,

2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36

2c = 92

Divide each side by two,

2c/2 = 92/2

c = 46

Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:

46 + 46 + 36 = 128

92 + 36 = 128

128 = 128

Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.

Which illustrates the construction of a perpendicular to a line from a point on the line?
quester [9]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The last option clearly describes the illustration of the construction of a perpendicular to a line from a point on the line where you start on a point in the line. Using an arbitrary radius, draw arcs intersecting the line <span> at two points. </span>
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
