THE FIRST ONE AND THE LAST ONE
Answer: Approximately 4.7 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
He rode the bicycle for some time before it broke down and he walked the remaining distance. This means that Jim covered a total of 165 miles by riding at a speed of 35 miles per hour and walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.
Let x = the distance covered by riding the bicycle.
Let y = the distance covered by walking.
Time = distance /speed
Time he used in riding would be x/35
Time he used in walking would be y/3
Since the entire trip took 7 hours,
x/35 + y/3 = 7
3x + 35y = 735 - - - - - - - - 1
Total miles covered is 165. Therefore,
x + y = 165 - - - - - - - - -- - -2
Substituting x = 165-y into equation 1, it becomes
3(165-y) + 35y = 735
495-3y + 35y = 735
-3y + 135y = 735-495
132y = 240
y = 240/132
y = 1.81m
x = 165 - 1.81 = 163.19
Amount of time that he spent on the bicycle will be
x/35 = 163.19/35
= 4.66
Approximately 4.7 hours.
I think the equation is y= 3/5x-1 1/2
In finding this value you average lower and upper bound
(0.6+0.82)/2 = 0.71
=0.71 estimated
margin of error = distance from estimate point lower/ upper bound
This interval will be twice margin error
(0.82-0.6)/2 = 0.11
How far is 0.82 from 0.71 ??
=0.11=11%
You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5
Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75
So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!
