To find the answer, we can first find the distance each of them have, then divide it by their speed to find the time needed.

Distance Steve need to travel: 300 feet
Distance Paula need to travel:
300+175(behind steve) = 475 feet

Time needed respectively:

Steve: 300 ÷ 9 = 33.33.. seconds
Paula: 475 ÷ 15 = 31.66... seconds

As we can see from the result, Paula would take less time to reach the goal (31.66<33.33),
therefore, Paula win the bike race by:

33.33-31.67
=1.66...
≈1.67 feet

Thus Paula won by 1.67 feet.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

140 individuals were surveyed

42 people are planning on going to the mountains

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is missing the information regarding the percentage of people who said that they were going to each of the possible destinations. After a quick google search I've found that, in the original question, 32% of individuals were going to the beach, 15% to the desert, 23% to major cities, and 30% to the mountains.

If 21 people said they were going to the desert, and that corresponds to 15% of the total number of people surveyed, the number of people surveyed is:

$21=n*0.15\\n=140\ individuals$
