Well the cyclist would catch up at 48 miles because......6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 54, 60 and 16, 32, 48, 64, 80. Now if you find the least common factor between the two that is your answer. which is48 in this case

If the runner moves at 6 miles per hour for 2 hours before the cyclist starts, the runner has a 12 mile lead at the beginning. If the cyclist is going at 16 miles per hour, he is overtaking the runner at 10 miles per hour, because 16-6=10. Then, the amount of time it takes the cyclist to go 2 miles in 10 miles per hour is the answer. this is 1/5 of an hour, or 12 minutes.

Four friends all use $10 off coupons to buy themselves concert tickets.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

$64

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were 4 of them and the coupons were $10 off, they saved a total of $40

To find how much they would have spent without the coupons, add 40 to 216:

216 + 40

= 256

To find the normal cost of one ticket, divide this by 4:

256/4

= 64

So, the price of one concert ticket without the coupon is $64

GIVING BRAINLEST!!!Joe and Tim observed two points, P and Q, on a number line. A number line is shown from negative 1 to positiv
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P is 5 ticks to the left of 0, so it would be -5/8

Q is 5 ticks to the right of 0, so it would be at 5/8

 an absolute value turns a negative number into a positive number

 so absolute value of  P located at -5/8 = 5/8

 this is the location of point Q

Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.
