Answer:

6mph

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the speed at which Carol jogs, given that she has a particular speed when she jogs greater than when she walks.

Firstly, we should understand that she is taking the same distance, whether she jogs or walks.

Now, let’s say her jogging rate is x mph, this means that her walking rate would be (x - 4)mph. This is because her jogging rate is 4mph faster than her walking rate.

The total distance covered when jogging is thus 10/60 * x, while her total distance covered when walking would be 30/60 * (x-4)[we convert the time to hours]

We equate both since they are same distance:

x/6 = (x -4)/2

2x = 6(x - 4)

2x = 6x - 24

4x = 24

x = 6mph

hichkok12 [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  about 145.3 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

If half breaks down in the hour, then half remains. That is, each hour the amount remaining is multiplied by 1/2. The remainder after 6 hours is ...

  (9300 mg)(1/2)^6 = 145.3125 gm

About 145.3 mg will be left after 6 hours.

Mr. Martin’s math test which is worth 100 points has 29questions. Each problem is worth 2points or 5 points. X represents number
adell [148]

Answer:there are 14 5point problems and 15 2point problems on the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents number of 5 point questions and y represents questions worth 2 points.

The total number of questions in the test is 29. It means that

x + y = 29

x = 29 - y

Mr. Martin’s math test is worth 100 points. It means that

5x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 29 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5(29 - y) + 2y = 100

145 - 5y + 2y = 100

- 5y + 2y = 100 - 145

- 3y = - 45

y = - 45/-3

y = 15

x = 29 - y = 29 - 15

x = 14
