The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Head start of Rick = 50 miles

Speed of Rick = 55 mph

Let,

x be the number of hours

y be the total miles

Distance covered by Rick in x hours = Speed * Time + Head start

y = 55x + 50

Speed of Betty = 65 mph

Total miles = Speed*Time

y=65x

The equations y=55x+50 and y=65x represents Rick's and Betty's trip.

Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply until both numbers have the same denominator so 1/7 times 6/6 equals 6/42 and multiply 4/6 times 7/7 it would be 28/42 so the answer would be that 4/6 is greater.
