Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
Answer:
The first one is -2x^2 - 21x + 4, the second one is -15 (I think, not 100% sure), the third one is 4xyz + 3yz + 5x - 4 (also not 100% on this one)
Check whether the two expressions 2x+3y2x+3y and 2y+3x2y+3x equivalent.
The first expression is the sum of 2x2x 's and 3y3y 's whereas the second one is the sum of 3x3x 's and 2y2y 's.
Let us evaluate the expressions for some values of xx and yy . Take x=0x=0 and y=1y=1 .
2(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=22(0)+3(1)=0+3=32(1)+3(0)=2+0=2
So, there is at least one pair of values of the variables for which the two expressions are not the same.
Answer:
28.
Step-by-step explanation:
28 x 5 = 140
140 divided by 28 = 5.
5 hours.. 140 cupcakes. You divide the amount by the hours, showing you that 28 cupcakes per hour is the answer.
