<span>Dawn was at 6 am.
Variables
a = distance from a to passing point
b = distance from b to passing point
c = speed of hiker 1
d = speed of hiker 2
x = number of hours prior to noon when dawn is
The first hiker travels for x hours to cover distance a, and the 2nd hiker then takes 9 hours to cover that same distance. This can be expressed as
a = cx = 9d
cx = 9d
x = 9d/c
The second hiker travels for x hours to cover distance b, and the 1st hiker then takes 4 hours to cover than same distance. Expressed as
b = dx = 4c
dx = 4c
x = 4c/d
We now have two expressions for x, set them equal to each other.
9d/c = 4c/d
Multiply both sides by d
9d^2/c = 4c
Divide both sides by c
9d^2/c^2 = 4
Interesting... Both sides are exact squares. Take the square root of both sides
3d/c = 2
d/c = 2/3
We now know the ratio of the speeds of the two hikers. Let's see what X is now.
x = 9d/c = 9*2/3 = 18/3 = 6
x = 4c/d = 4*3/2 = 12/2 = 6
Both expressions for x, claim x to be 6 hours. And 6 hours prior to noon is 6am.
We don't know the actual speeds of the two hikers, nor how far they actually walked. But we do know their relative speeds. And that's enough to figure out when dawn was.</span>
A function is a relation for which each value from the set the first components of the ordered pairs is associated with exactly one value from the set of second components of the ordered pair.

Brainliest please :)
Answer:
0.5 or 3/6 min
Step-by-step explanation:
so
1/3= 1/6min or 10 sec
to finish the whole apple 3/3 is required
1 part is 10 sec, 3 parts will be 30 secs which is 0.5 /3/6 min.
hope this helps
7/20 barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day.
How to solve word problems?
It's actually fairly easy to solve word problems using a tried-and-true step-by-step approach.
- Aloud to yourself, read the issue.
- Make a Drawing.
- Ask yourself, "What am I looking for?"
- List the items that have been provided.
- Locate the key phrases.
- Solve.
- Verify your work.
Here are some actions to take:
- Recognize the issue, including all the terminology used to describe it. Recognize what you need to look for, Recognize the issue's context.
- Convert the issue into an equation. Give the unknown a variable (or variables) to symbolize, Indicate exactly what the variable stands for.
- Put the strategy into action and find a solution.
Given:
Elephants at the Norfolk zoo are fed = 1/2
Buffalo are fed 7/10 as much corn as the elephants = 7/10 * Elephants fed
= 7/10 * 1/2
= 7/20
Hence, 7/20 barrels of corn are the buffalo fed each day.
