To get the *percent increase* from week 1 to week 2, we calculate the change in distance from week 1 to week 2 (13.5 - 12.5 = 1 mile) over the week 1 distance (12.5 miles). Doing that, we find that Matthew increased his distance by
1/12.5 = 0.08, or 8%
We’re given that he’ll increase his distance by the same percentage from week 2 to 3, so to find his week 3 distance, we can find 8% of the week 2 distance and add that on. 8% of 13.5 miles is 0.08 x 13.5 = 1.08 miles, so by week 3, he’ll be running 13.5 + 1.08 = 14.58 miles.
If y=0 then,
2x-8=0
2x=8
X=8/2
X=4
Answer is c
Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is
... 5 + 5k
We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.
... 5 + 5k = 9k
... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k
... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4
Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is
... b) 5/4
5 sig figs is the correct answer
