Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:
x, x + 8
They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.
In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:
8(2x +8) = 240
2x + 8 = 30
2x = 22
x = 11.
Then:
- x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.

Answer:
Are you supposed to change decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals?
If yes,
0.5 = 1/2
11/4 = 2.75
0.25 = 1/4
3/8 = 0.375
Answer: Cube root of 64 in radical form: ∛64.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 10
b = 6.633
Step-by-step explanation:
x²+ y²= 125.
In this equation, the value of x and y represent the coordinates of x and y respectively of point on which the circle passes.
<u>(a,5)</u>
x²+ y²= 125
a² + 5² = 125
a² + 25 = 125
a² = 125-25
a² = 100
a = √100 = 10
(9,b)
x²+ y²= 125
9² + b² = 125
b² 125 - 81
b² = 44
b = √44 = 6.633
13/14 is already in simplest form because they have no common factors.
