Pam jogged 15 and 3/4 miles in 3 hours. At this rate how long would it take Pam to jog 28 and 7/8 miles?

1 answer:

3 0

First, let’s find the distance Pam jogs in one hour.
15.75/3 = 5.25 mph.
Now, simply divide 28.875 (28 and decimal of 7/8) by our new rate.
28.875/5.25 = 5.5 hours. Choice B

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^t\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &40000\\
r=rate\to 3\%\to \frac{3}{100}\to &0.03\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &15\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=40000(1+0.03)^{16}\implies A=40000(1.03)^{16}$
