Answer:

The speed does he run is 3 miles/hr and her cycling speed is 18 miles/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let x mi/h represents the rate of running and y mi/h represents the rate of  cycling.

Monday she spends 1/3 hour at each activity, covering a total of 7 miles.

\frac{1}{3}x+ \frac{1}{3}y=7

x+y=21

x=21-y

On Tuesday, she runs for 17 minutes and cycles for 40 minutes, covering a total of 12.85 miles.

Convert minutes to hours by dividing 60.

\frac{17}{60}x+ \frac{40}{60}y=12.85

17x+40y=771

Substitute x = 21-y in above equation,

17(21-y)+40y=771

357-17y+40y=771

23y=771-357

23y=414

y=18

Substitute the value of y in x=21-y

x=21-18

x=3

Hence, the speed does he run is 3 miles/hr and her cycling speed is 18 miles/hr.

This is a table with 6 lines.
In each line, the number in the first column is the 'x' value.

All you have to do on each line is ...

--- substitute the 'x' value in (100 + 23x), simplify it,
and write the result in the middle column

then

--- substitute the 'x' number in  90(1.2ˣ) , simplify it,
and write the result in the last column.

On the first line, x=0.

100 + 23x  =  100 + 0 = 100.  Write 100 in the middle column.

90(1.2ˣ) = 90(1) = 90.  Write 90 in the last column.

Then go on to the second line, where x=1.

You'll make it.

mezya [45]

Answer:

a. \frac{70}{100}

b. 0.7

c. 0.7=70%=\frac{70}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

70% of 100 received an A, that is 70/100 times 100 equal to 70

\frac{70}{100}*100=70

a. 70% = \frac{70}{100}

b. \frac{70}{100} = 0.7

Notice that 70/100 is equal to 7/10 which is 0.7

c. 0.7=70%=\frac{70}{100}

Take the square root on both sides
X=positive and negative 20 but in this case the negative is thrown out because you can't have a negative side
