Answer:

The speed of the runner is 6 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the distance between the cyclist and the runner is 68 miles.

Given the speed of the cyclist is 28 miles per hour.

Initial time is 1:00PM Final time is 3:00PM

Time elapsed is 3-1=2hours

Let the cyclist travel a distance of x miles,Then the distance travelled by the runner is 68-x miles.

speed=\frac{distance}{time}

for the cyclist

28=\frac{x}{2}

x=56 miles

the distance travelled by the runner is 68-56=12 miles

speed of the runner =  12/2 = 6 miles per hour

Raul simplified the expression, as shown below.
Softa [21]

Answer:

Raul's errors are in the application of the distributive property(he applied it wrongly), in not respecting the precedence of operations, and in the multiplication of two terms with the same base(we add the exponent).

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

The distributive property of multiplication is:

a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c

Precedence of operations:

First multiplication, then addition.

Multiplication of terms with the same base:

The multiplication of h*h = h², which Raul missed.

The correct simplification is given by:

-[3h + 7h(2-h)] = -[3h + 14h - 7h^2] = -[17h - 7h^2]=7h^2 - 17h

When G(2,-6) is reflected in the line y = -2, the image is located at G |
Mkey [24]

Answer:

The point (2, -6) is four below the line y= -2

The reflection will be four below the line y=-2.

Since y=-2 is a horizontal line, the reflection will be vertical,

so (2,-6) will reflect down 6 spaces vertically. -6 + (4*2) = (-6 + 8) =  2  therefore when we establish 4 below the line we just apply * 2 as a double as its across the line each side of the line to find that below the line = 4 = 4*2 and add it to -6

 

(2,-6) reflected over y=-2 reflects to (2, 2 )

Walter and his mother drove to Miami Florida. It took them 9 hours and 45 minutes to drive 658.125 miles. Their average speed wa
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer: 67.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for speed is:

= Distance / Time

Distance = 658.125 miles

Time will need to be converted to a decimal. You may convert only the minutes into hours as the hours are already hours.

= 45/60 minutes

= 0.75 hrs

= 9 + 0.75

= 9.75 hours

Speed = 658.125 / 9.75

= 67.5 mph
