Alice and Bob each have a certain amount of money. If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob, then she will have $4$ times as much

money as Bob. If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob. If neither gives the other any money, what is the ratio of the amount of money Alice has to the amount Bob has?

Answer: 31 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the following:

Alice's amount = P

Bob's amount = Q

Amount received = n

If Alice receives $n$ dollars from Bob ;then she will have $4$ times as much money as Bob.

P + n = 4(Q - n)

P + n = 4Q - 4n

P = 4Q - 4n - n

P = 4Q - 5n - - - - (1)

If, on the other hand, she gives $n$ dollars to Bob, then she will have $3$ times as much money as Bob

P - n = 3(Q + n)

P - n = 3Q + 3n

P = 3Q + 3n + n

P = 3Q + 4n - - - - - - (2)

Equating both equations - (1) and (2)

4Q - 5n = 3Q + 4n

4Q - 3Q = 4n + 5n

Q = 9n

Express P in terms of n, use either equation (1) or (2)

From equation 2:

P = 3Q + 4n

Substituting Q = 9n

P = 3(9n) + 4n

P = 27n + 4n

P = 31n

Alice's amount = P, Bob's = Q

Ratio = P:Q

Iron Man Training While training for an iron man competition, Tony bikes for 60 miles and runs for 15 miles. If his bikes speed
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

How long did Tony speed on his bike?

Let s to be Tony's running speed, then 8s is Tony's biking speed

Let's recall that Time = Distance/Speed

Bike time + Running time = 5 hrs

Replacing with the real values, we have:

60/8s + 15/s = 5

8s as Lowest Common Denominator

60 + 8 * 15 = 5 * 8s

60 + 120 = 40s

-40s = -180

s = -180-40

s = 4.5 ⇒ 8s = 36

Tony run at 4.5 mph and biked at 36 mph

Now, we can calculate the time, this way:

Bike time = Bike distance/Bike speed

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Bike time = 60/36

Bike time = 5/3 (Dividing by 12)

5/3 hours * 60 = 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes

Running time = 5 hours - 1 hour 40 minutes = 3 hours 20 minutes

<u>Tony biked 1 hour 40 minutes and run 3 hours 20 minutes.</u>
