Answer:
36 runners finished the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first half of the race, 1/4 of them dropped, so we need to calculate 1/4 of 80:
(1/4) * 80 = 80/4 = 20
If 20 runners dropped out, now we have 80 - 20 = 60 runners.
Then, in the second half, 2/5 of the remaining runners dropped out, so:
(2/5) * 60 = 2*60/5 = 120/5 = 24
If 24 runners dropped out, now we have 60 - 24 = 36 runners.
So, 36 runners finished the race.
Let the amount Tom does = x
Then Larissa’s time would be 3x( 3 times the amount of Tom)
And Neal would also be 3x
The total of the 3 is 84 hours so as an equation you have:
X + 3x + 3x = 84
Combine like terms
7x = 84
Divide both sides by 7
X = 84/7
X = 12 hours
Tom = x, so Tom exercised for 12 hours.
Okay so we need to figure out the width of the swimming pool using the length, and we know the width is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to first do 35-10, and then divide it in half. That gives us 12.5. To check our work I'll do the problem 12.5+12.5+10=35.
The width of the swimming pool is 12.5 ft.
D. I think you meant to say 2/3 x so the only correct answer is d
