A man is jogging up a hill at 3 ft per second and then stumbles back 4 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the rate of those two statements:
28 ÷ 16 = 1.75
1.75 ft per seconds
7 ÷ 4 = 1.75
1.75 ft per seconds
Two statements have the same rate, therefore 28 feet every 16 seconds and 7 feet every 4 seconds are equivalent
Answer:
$2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.
At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,
3 b + 5 c = 11.00 [1]
His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,
1 b + 2 c = 3.95
b = 3.95 - 2c [2]
If we replace [2] in [1], we get
3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00
11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00
c = 0.85
If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get
b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25
