This is like half the question, but I guess you got the important stuff down...lol. Anyways, the runners run for the same amount of time.  They both stop when the distance between them in 2420, so the thing that's different is their rates, which means that the one that runs faster goes farther than the one that runs slower.  But we don't know the distance they each run, so we can call the distance the faster guy runs "d" and the other distance "2420-d".  Rates are 120 and 180, respectively.  Since d = rt and the time is the same for both, we solve for t to get that t = d/r.  Set up the ratios and cross multiply to solve for d: \frac{d}{120} = \frac{2420-d}{180} and 180d=290400-120d.  300d=290400 and d = 968.  Go back to your original equation of d=rt and sub in the d of 968 to solve for t: d=120t so 968=120t and t = 8.06 minutes.

2420 / (180 + 120) = 8 2/3 minutes.

Answer:

g=64.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{26.1}{24.3} = \frac{69.6}{g}

69.6×24.3= 26.1×g

1,691.28=26.1g

64.8=g

g=64.8

Hope this helps! :)

Oh, I got the order of the ratios wrong, I'm sorry.

The probability of Mrs. Galvan randomly selecting a black pen from the 20 pens in her drawer is . Which of the following describ
aleksandrvk [35]
I believe there is a 1/20 chance that Mrs. Galvan will pick a black pin. Since there are 20 pens, each pen has an equal chance of getting picked. For example, you have 2 pens and one of them is blue. The chance of me getting the blue pen is 1/2 or a 50% chance. So your answer will be 1/20 chance.
