5 STARS!!!
1 answer:
Since it is given that Boris takes x minutes to run 5 miles it means that Boris' speed will be given as: .
Now, if Dylan runs slower than Boris and takes 12 more minutes to complete the 5 miles run, then that would mean that Dylan takes (x+12) minutes to complete the same run.
In this case we can see the Dylan's speed will be .
Thus, the denominator represents the time Dylan takes to run 5 miles if he takes 12 minutes more than Boris.
Therefore, out of the given options, the second option is the correct option.

Answer:
(a)
(b) 7 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Let x be the number of hours and y is the total cost.
We have been given that Beatrice and her friends charge $8 per hour of babysitting, so the charges for x hours of babysitting will be 8x.
As they also charge a mandatory $5 per day fee for each child for snacks, so the total charges for babysit each day will be charges for x hours of babysitting plus mandatory charge.
We can represent this information in an equation as:
Therefore, the equation represents the total cost of using Beatrice’s babysitting service each day.
(b) To find the number of hours Beatrice babysit the daughter, we will substitute y = 61 in our equation and solve for x.
Let us subtract 5 from both sides of our equation.
Let us divide both sides of our equation by 8.
Therefore, Beatrice babysit 7 hours the daughter.
