Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B.  In less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes

Part C.  In more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v =speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: at least 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would take Steve at least 6 hours to walk at least 21 mi on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijan's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijan's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, so

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijan will be behind when

D_E

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours Elijah will be behind Mercedes.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijan's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijan's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts walking at the marker for Mile 42,  and Aubrey starts walking at the marker for Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijan will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours Elijan will catch up Aubrey, and in more than 2.5 hours Elijah will be ahead Aubrey.

Liliana wants to determine the height of an enlarged photo that she plans to frame. The original photo was 11 inches wide by 14
inn [45]

Answer: 168 inches.

Explanation:

First thing you must always do when solving word problems is read closely, and take note of any number.

In this case, the first thing we must do is find the scale factor.

For this, we use one of the dimensions. We will use the width of the photo.

We have then:

k = 132/11

k = 12

Then, we look for the value of the height of the new photo. To do this, we multiply the scale factor by the original dimension.

We have then:

14k = 14 (12) = 168

Thus, 168 inches is your answer! :)

Hope this helps! :)

Type A coffee costs Bill 4.30
avanturin [10]
4.30A+5.70B=855.40
A+B=168

A=168-B
substitute

4.30(168-B)+5.70B=855.40
4.30*168-4.30B+5.70B=855.40
1.40B =855-4.30*168
1.40B=132.60
B=132.60/1.40= 94.7 pounds≈95 pouds
