Answer:   4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  The hurdle track that is 1/5 of a mile long.

And, After extending the track, the length of the hurdle track = 1/4 of a mile

Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track = the initial length of the hurdle track / the final length of the hurdel track

= \frac{1/5}{1/4}

= \frac{4}{5}

Joe began to increase the speed of his car at 2:00 P.M. Since that time,the speed of Joes car has been steadily increasing by 1
Olegator [25]

Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in \frac{1}{1.5} minutes

Hence

10.50 mph will be increased in \frac{1}{1.5} \times 10.50 minutes

= \frac{10.5}{1.5}

=7

Hence joes car was exceeding the limit of 55 mph for 7 minutes.

Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels. She had $1.60 in all. How many nickels and how many quarters did she have? Wh
svlad2 [7]
Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.

q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6  These are the conditions in mathematical terms.

To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:

.05n+.25(3n)=1.6  carry out indicated multiplication on left side

.05n+.75n=1.6  combine like terms on left side

.8n=1.6  divide both sides by .8

n=2, since q=3n

q=6

So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.
