Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover while running = D_1 = 5 miles

Let The speed for running = S_1

The distance cover with bike = D_2 = 80 miles

The speed for biking = S_2 = 15 mph +  S_1

Total Time taken = 5 hours

Now Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

∴ 5 hour = \frac{D_1}{S_1} +  \frac{D_2}{S_2}

Or,  5 hour = \frac{5}{S_1} +  \frac{80}{15+S_1}

Or, 5 hour = \frac{75 + 5 S_1 + 80 S_1}{S_1(15+S_1)}

or,  5 × (S_1^{2}+15 S_1) = 85 S_1 + 75

Or, 5 S_1^{2} + 75 S_1 -  85 S_1 - 75 = 0

or, 5 S_1^{2} -10 S_1 - 75 = 0

or,   S_1^{2} -2 S_1 - 15 = 0

Or, S_1^{2} -3 S_1 + 5 S_1- 15 = 0

Or, S_1 (S_1 - 3) + 5 (S_1 - 3) = 0

Or, (S_1 - 3) ( S_1 + 5 ) = 0

∴ S_1 = 3 , - 5

So, the running speed = 3 mile per hour

And the biking speed = 15 mph + 3 mph = 18 mile per hour

Hence The running speed of Stu is 3 mile per hour  .  Answer

Hi!

18.49 * 5.75% = 1.063175

18.49 + 1.063175 = 19.553175 (Round to the nearest cent).

The cost (including tax) will be $19.55. Since $20 is greater than $19, the gift card will be able to cover the cost!

MatroZZZ [7]
The first step is to turn the 3 1/5 into an improper fraction, and then change it so that the denominator is 10, just like the 4/10, I'm order to make it easier to divide. then you divide 32 by 4 to get 8.
