<span>You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles</span>

Ten bagels and four muffins cost $13. Five bagels and eight muffins cost $14. How much does a bagel cost? How much does a muffin
morpeh [17]
<span>We are going to define two equations where b means bagels and m will be muffins, First equation: 10*b + 4*m = 13 Second equation: 5*b + 8*m = 14 From the second equation, we can isolate b: b = (14 - 8*m)/5 In the second equation 10*(14 - 8*m)/5 + 4*m = 13 2*(14 - 8*m) + 4*m = 13 28 - 16*m + 4*m = 13 28 -13 = 16*m - 4*m 15 = 12*m m = 15/12 = 1.25 Then b = (14 - 8*m)/5 = (14 - 8*1.25)/5 = 4/5 = 0.8 So one bagel costs $0.8 and one muffin $1.25</span>
