Answer:
The number of meters Robert will beat Sam is 12 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
When Paul crossed the finish line of a 60-meter race, he was ahead of Robert by 10 meters and ahead of Sam by 20 meters. Suppose Robert and Sam continue to race to the finish line without changing their rates of speed.
Find:
the number of meters by which Robert will beat Sam
Step 1 of 1
When Paul finishes, Robert has run 60-10=50 meters and Sam has run 60-20=40 meters.
Therefore, when Robert and Sam run for the same amount of time, Sam covers 
of the distance that Robert covers. So, while Robert runs the final 10 meters of the race, Sam runs 
meters.
This means Robert's lead over Sam increases by 2 more meters, and he beats Sam by 10+2=12 meters.
Assuming simple interest (i.e. no compounding within first year), then
At 6%, interest = 10000*0.06=$600
At 9% interest = 10000*0.09 = $900
Two ways to find the ratio
method A. let x=proportion at 6%
then
600x+900(1-x)=684
Expand and solve
300x=900-684=216
x=216/300=0.72 or 72%
So 10000*0.72=7200 were invested at 6%
10000-7200=2800 were invested at 9%
method B: by proportions
Ratio of investments at 6% and 9%
= 900-684 : 684-600
=216 : 84
= 18 : 7
Amount invested at 6% = 18/(18+7) * 10000 = 0.72*10000 = 7200
Amount invested at 8% = 7/(18+7)*10000=0.28*10000=2800
Answer:
exact form - b = -11/5
decimal form - b = -2.2
Mixed number form - b = -2 1/5
False. Supplementary angles have to add up to 180 degrees, and that is clearly not a flat line lol
