<span>Let x = the miles Jeanie ran y = the miles Jeanie biked T = 2 hours total time for the duathlon v1 = 8.5 mph Jeanie's running speed and v2 = 16 mph Jeanie's biking speed But T = Jean's time she ran t1 + time she biked t2 I. e t1 + t2 = 2 So we have average speed v2 when she biked = distance (y) / time (t2) Distance y = v2 * t2 = 16 * t2 and distance when she ran x = 8.5 * t1 Since she covered 27 miles while running and biking we have x + y = 27 8.5t1 + 16t2 =27 ------(1) t1 + t2 = 2 --------------(2) The simultaneous equation gives us t1 = 2/3 and t2 which is time she biked = 4/3 So 4/3 = 1 1/3. Which is 1 hour 20 minutes</span>

He floor of a moving van is 3 feet off of the ground. The ramp into the van makes a 12° angle with the ground. About how long is
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Given :

Hight of the van from the ground, h = 3 feet.

The ramp into the van makes a 12° angle with the ground.

To Find :

How long is the ramp.

Solution :

Let, length of ramp is l .

So, height of ramp in terms of length is given by :

h = l \times sin\ 12^o\\\\l = \dfrac{h}{sin \ 12^o}\\\\l = \dfrac{3}{sin \ 12^o}\\\\l = 14.429 \ feet

Hence, this is the required solution.

Each tape diagram represents I whole.
Monica [59]

Hi! From what I know, your answer should be 5n = 1.75.

This is because all 5 of those n's ultimately equal the large box of 1.75 on the top. Think of it as fractions. if we replaced 1.75 with 1, those n's would each be 1/5.

Answer:

x = 350 gallons (amt of 60% solution that must be added)

Step-by-step explanation:

Amt of 60% solution = x gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 0.6x gallons

Amt of 15% solution = 100 gallons ; Amt of active ingredient = 15 gallons

Amt of 50% solution = 100+x gallons ; Amt of active = 50 + 0.5x gallons

EQUATION:

Active ingredient: 0.60x + 15 = 50 + 0.50x

0.10x = 35

x = 350 gallons (amt of 60% solution that must be added)
