Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at the same point at the same time, Samuel and Heather rode their bikes in the same direction

  • Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather
  • After 3.5 h Samuel stopped for a half-hour break, but Heather kept going
  • Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

We need to find how fast each was going

Assume that Heather's speed is x km/h

∵ Heather's speed = x km/h

∵ Samuel traveled 3 km/h faster than Heather

∴ Samuel's speed = x + 3 km/h

The formula of the distance is distance = speed × time

∵ Samuel travel for 3.5 hours

- Find the distance that Samuel traveled in 3.5 h

∴ Samuel distance = (x + 3) × 3.5

- Multiply the bracket by 3.5 to simplify

∴ Samuel distance = 3.5x + 10.5

∵ Samuel took a break for half hour

∵ Heather kept going

∵ At the end of the break, Heather was 8 km ahead of Samuel

- That means Heather was going for 4 hours (3.5 + 0.5), and her

   distance is longer than Samuel distance by 8 km

∴ Heather distance = x × 4 = 4x

- Subtract the distance of Samuel from the distance of Heather

   and equate the difference by 8

∵ 4x - (3x + 10.5) = 8

∴ 4x - 3x - 10.5 = 8

- Add the like terms in the left hand side

∴ 0.5x - 10.5 = 8

- Add 10.5 to both sides

∴ 0.5x = 18.5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 37

∵ x represents Heather's speed

∴ Heather's speed = 37 km/h

∵ x + 3 represents Samuel's speed

∴ Samuel's speed = 37 + 3 = 40 km/h

Samuel was going with 40 km/h and Heather was going with 37 km/h

Kate made 4 dresses with 7 yards of fabric. how many yards did she use on 1 dress
Ksju [112]
This is a fraction equal to
7 yards ÷ 4 dresses

We want a unit rate where
<span>1 is in the denominator, </span>
so we divide top and bottom by 4.

7÷4= 1.75
_
4÷4=1.
Therefore, Kate used 1.75 yards per one dress (1.75 yds. p/ d)

Hope I helped! :)

There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips. If they form a certain color pattern when arranged in a row, for example RBRRB, how many
svp [43]

Answer:

Option A - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips. If they form a certain color pattern when arranged in a row, for example RBRRB.

To find : How many color patterns are possible?

Solution :

Total number of chips = 5

So, 5 chips can be arranged in 5! ways.

There are 3 red chips and 2 blue chips.

So, choosing 3 red chips in 3! ways

and choosing 2 blue chips in 2! ways.

As changing the places of similar chip will not create new pattern.

The total pattern is given by,

T=\frac{5!}{3!\times 2!}

T=\frac{5\times 4\times 3!}{3!\times 2}

T=10

Therefore, color patterns are possible are 10.

Option A is correct.
