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

How to graph inequalities
marusya05 [52]

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve for y

given equation is 3x-2y ≥ 12

subtract 3x on both sides of the equation which would result with: -2y ≥ 12-3x

divide by -2 on both sides of the equation, flip the sign to ≤ because you are dividing by a negative, then you should get the result y<u> </u><u>≤</u><u> </u>-6 + 3x/2 (should look like a fraction)

y-intercept is at -6

slope is 3/2 (or three halves)

start at -6 on the y-axis, go up 3 across 2 and plot your point, keep repeating when going up and down the graph

The Pythagorean theorem formula for a triangle is A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A and B are the sides and C is the hypotenuse.

The sides of the triangle shown are AB and BC and the hypotenuse is AC,

so the correct answer would be:

(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2, because 25 + 144 = 169

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line with equation 12x+3y=9?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The slope would be 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular slope first you have to set this equation to y

to do this you use the subtraction prop of equality and you will get 12x-9= -3y

then you divide by -3 on both sides to get y by itself

you will get -4x+3=y

now that you know the slope is -4, you must find the negative reciprocal slope of this which means you have to flip the numerator and denominator and make the sign its opposite.

The perpendicular slope would then be 1/4.
