I run 1 mile every 6 minutes.
My friend runs 1 mile every 7 minutes.
Lowest Common Multiple:  LCM ( 6, 7 ) = 42 minutes.
Me : 42 : 6 = 7 miles
My friend : 42 : 7 = 6 miles.

Start by finding how long it takes each to run 1 mile.

You: 0.5 mile every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes

Your friend 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes

Now you have to calculate the minimum common multiple of 6 and 7.

For that you need to factor both numbers and take common and non common factors raised to their highest exponent:

6 = 3*2
7 = 7

Then the minimum common multiple is 2*3*7=42.

Now divide the time 42 by the humber of minutes each of you take to run 1 mile

you: 42 minutes / 6 minutes per mile = 7 miles
your friend 42 minutes / 7 minutes per mile = 6 miles.

You can run 7 miles and your friend 6 miles in the same time.

Answer: 7 and 6

Find two numbers whose sum is 25 and the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6
Katen [24]

Answer:

10 and 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the numbers we need to find.

x + y = 25 (two numbers whose sum is 25)

(1/x) + (1/y) = 1/6 (the sum of whose reciprocals is 1/6)

The solutions of the this system of equations are the numbers we need to find.

x = 25 - y

1/(25 - y) + 1/y = 1/6 multiply both sides by 6(25-y)y

6y + 6(25-y) = (25-y)y

6y + 150 - 6y = 25y - (y^2)

y^2 - 25y + 150 = 0 quadratic equation has 2 solutions

y1 = 15

y2 = 10

Thus we have :

First solution: for y = 15, x = 25 - 15 = 10

Second solution: for y = 10, x = 25 - 10 = 15

The first and the second solution are in fact the same one solution we are looking for: the two numbers are 10 and 15 (since the combination 10 and 15 is the same as 15 and 10).

HELP i am having trouble and it is about to be due
mash [69]

Answer:

m∠1 = 130°

m∠2 = 158°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given figure, we have;

The measure of angle m∠1 is given by the exterior angle theorem as the sum of the two opposite interior angles as follows;

m∠1 = 99° + 31° = 130°

m∠1 = 130°

Similarly, the measure of angle m∠2 is given by the exterior angle theorem as the sum of the two opposite interior angles as follows;

m∠2 = 28° + m∠1 = 28° + 130° = 158°

m∠2 = 158°.
