Luke started a weight-loss program.

The first week, he lost X pounds.

the second week he lost 3/2 pounds less then 3/2 times the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/2 x - 3/2

The third week, he lost 1 more pound than 3/4 of the pounds he lost the first week. so, he lost 3/4 x + 1

So, over 3 weeks he lost :

x + (3/2 x - 3/2) + (3/4 x + 1) = 13/4 x - 1/2

=========================================================

Liam started the program when Luke did.

The first week, he lost 1 pound less than 3/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost (3/2 x - 1)

The second week, he lost 4 pounds less than 5/2 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so ,he lost (5/2 x - 4)

The third week, he lost 1/2 more than 5/4 times the pounds luke lost the first week. so, he lost, ( 5/4 x + 1/2)

The expression for Liam's weight loss over the three weeks is =

= (3/2 x - 1) + (5/2 x - 4) + ( 5/4 x + 1/2) = 21/4 x - 9/2

=============================================================

Assuming they both lost the same number of pounds over the three weeks

So, equating the number of pounds lost by each one of them

so,

13/4 x - 1/2 = 21/4 x - 9/2

solve for x

13/4 x - 21/4 x = -9/2 + 1/2

-2x = -4

divide both sides by -2

so,

x = -4/-2 = 2

so,

The number of pounds luke lost in the fist week is 2 pounds

=============================================================

4. The number of pounds luke and liam each lost over the three weeks is

= 13/4 * 2 - 1/2 = 6 pounds

Answer:

A) 60 Degrees

B) 550 Feet

C) 2.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a) So the wheel has completed one revolution in 10 minutes so lets first divide 100 secs with 10 minutes to calculate the the fraction of revolution

1 min = 60 secs

10 min = 600 secs

100/600 = 1/6

One complete revolution is 360 degrees and 1/6 of 360 degrees will be 60 degrees .

360/6 = 60°

b) It takes 10 minutes to complete one revolution so if the person is on it for 7 minutes it would be 7/10 of a revolution . The ferris wheel has a diameter of 250 feet so the radius will be 125 feet because it is the half of the diameter and the circumference will be 250 π . To calculate the distance lets multiple the fraction of the revolution which is 7/10 into the circumference $\frac{7}{10} * (250 pi)$ = 550 Feet.

C)It took 10 minutes to travel 250 π now we will use this relation to calculate 200 feet . lets suppose t is for time .

$\frac{250pi}{10} =\frac{200}{t}$ .

After solving this equation as there is only one unknown which is "<em>t</em> "the answer will be 2.5 minutes.
