Problema Solution

Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.

How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?

Answer provided by our tutors

d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.

Write 600 as a product of it's primse factors
givi [52]

Answer:

2*2*2*3*5*5

or

2^3 *3* 5^2

Step-by-step explanation:

600  = 60*10

These are not prime so keep going, breaking 60 and 10 down

        = 6*10  * 5*2

6 and 10 are not prime so keep going ( 5 and 2 are prime)

    = 3*2  * 5*2  * 5*2

All of the numbers are prime, so we normally write them in order from smallest to largest

2*2*2*3*5*5

We can write with exponents

2^3 *3* 5^2
