Oliver and Lenny started hiking a hill simultaneously from the bottom to the top. Oliver hiked at a speed of 5 km/h during the f

irst half, then decreased his speed to 4 km/h during the second half. Lenny hiked at a speed of 4 km/h during the first half, then increased his speed to 5 km/h in the second half. Who reached the top of the hill first? What is the proportion of time he spent hiking to that of his friend?

Answer:

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Oliver's speed = 5 km/h during the first half, then decreased his speed to 4 km/h during the second half.

Lenny's speed = 4 km/h during the first half, then increased his speed to 5 km/h in the second half.

2. Who reached the top of the hill first? What is the proportion of time he spent hiking to that of his friend?

Let's assume the distance from the bottom to the top of the hill is 10 kilometers for calculating the time it will take Oliver and Lenny to reach the top of the hill:

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Oliver = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Lenny = Time of hiking first 5 km + Time of hiking second 5 km

Oliver = 5/5 + 5/4

Oliver = 1 + 5/4 = 2 1/4 hours

Lenny = 5/4 + 5/5

Lenny = 5/4 + 1 = 2 1/4 hours

<u>Oliver and Lenny reached the top of the hill at the same time</u>

<u>The proportion of time Oliver spent hiking to that of Lenny is 1:1</u>

How many years will it take for the account to reach $18,600? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth
Margarita [4]
 <span>it depends how the interest is calculated, but there's not much of a difference 

assuming its continuously compouned, you use this formula: A(t)=Pe^(rt), where A is the final amount, P is the initial investment, r is the interest, and t is the time in years 

you want to find t such that A(t)=18,600 so 18,600=1000e^(.0675t) 

you need to use logarithm to figure it out, take the natural log of both sides 

the following properties will come into use: 

ln(a*b)=ln(a)+ln(b) 
ln(a^b)=bln(a) 
ln(e)=1 

taking the natural log 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000e^(.0675t)) 

ln(18,600)=ln(1000)+ln(e^.0675t) 

ln(18600)=ln(1000) + .0675t 

now solve for t: t= (ln(18600)-ln(1000))/.0675 

t=43.31</span>
