we are given
now, we can factor out right side term
now, we can plug back
and we get
so,
.............Answer
There are 16 on each layer and 96 in total
Y = k/x
13 = k/6
k = 78
y = k/x
8 = 78/x
8x = 78
x = 78/8
x = 9.75
To calculate who ran more, you add up the total miles
Pat = 2.75+3+2.5 = 8.25
Toby = 2+2.25+3.5 = 7.75
Now subtract to see who ran more
Pat ran 0.5 miles more than Toby.
Hope this helps
