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.

KATRIN_1 [288]
The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.

Answer:

-1.99, 1.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a table to find the z-scores.

For the first z-score:

P(x < z) = 0.0233

z = -1.99

For the second z-score:

P(x > z) = 0.0233

P(x < z) = 1 − 0.0233 = 0.9767

z = 1.99
