Answer: 16 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
A: 1l x km
B: 1l x+5 km
Running 400 km A used 400/x litres
Running 400 km B used 400/(x+5) litres
400/x- 400/(x+5)= 4
400*(x+5)- x*400-4*x*(x+5)=0
400*x+2000-400*x-4*x²-20*x=0
2000-4*x²-20*x=0 difide by 4 both sides of equation
500-x²-5*x=0
Lets solve the equation using discriminant:
D=5²-(-1)*4*500=2025
sqrt(D)=45
x1= (5+45)/(-2)= -25 x2=(5-45)/(-2)=20
x1=-25 x2=20
x1<0 so is not the solution of the problem ( number of litres can't be negative)
So A uses litr per x=20 km and B uses 1 litr per 20+5=25 km
Running 400 km B uses 400/25=16 litres

Step-by-step explanation:
How I’d do it:
5/6 three times makes 15/6. Made into a mixed fraction is 2 3/6, which in its simplest form is 2 1/2.
When converted to ounces, assuming that 6/6 is one complete ounce, then you get 2.5 ounces.
The total weight she picked up is 2.5 ounces.

Answer:
about 9.80 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of half the segment (h) can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
h² +5² = 7²
h² = 7² -5² = 49 -25 = 24
h = √24 = 2√6
This is half the segment length, so the whole segment length is ...
L = 2h = 2(2√6)
L = 4√6 ≈ 9.7980
The length of the segment is 4√6 ≈ 9.80 cm.
