<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>

Simple interest = Cost Price + (Interest Percentage of Cost Price × number of years or months we are paying off)

a) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 4)
SI = £20 000 + £4000 = £24 000

b) SI = £20 000 + (5% of £20 000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + (£1000 × 3)
SI = £20 000 + £3000 = £23 000

£24 000 - £23 000 = £1000 that you saved!

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

I believe they are correlated: positive correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The higher the repair bills of a car, it means maybe having bad fuel injectors, will cause bad mileage allowing the car to consume more fuel. It is like say the inexorable decline of a car in areas including minor wears and incorrect adjustment etc impairs fuel economy. Thus, the higher the repair bills, the higher the fuel consumption. This is an example of a positive correlation. This means the value of y increases as there is an increase in the value of x.
