<u>Answer</u>


Incorrect


<u>Explanation</u>

Unpack the problem:

Let the distance round the track to be X.

Speed is the ratio of distance to time.

Robert run a distance of (1/2)x

Elaine run a distance of (3/4)x


Make a plan:

Finding the speed of each.

Compare their speeds to determine who ran faster than who.


Solution:

Robert's speed =(1/2)x/(5/6)

=1/2×6/5x

= (3/5)x

= 0.6x

Elaine's speed = (3/4)x/(9/10)

= (3/4)×(10/9)x

= (5/6)x

= 0.83333x



<em>Elaine ran faster than Robert. </em>


<u>Look back and explain:</u>

0.83333x > 0.6x

Elaine's speed is higher than Robert's speed.

This shows that Elaine ran faster than Robert.

Gelneren [198K]
Subtract the second equation from double the first equation:

2x+6y-2x-(-4y)=0

10y=0

Therefore, y=0.  Substituting this into the first equation, we see that:

x+3(0)=3

x=3

Therefore, x=3.  The solution to this system is x=3, y=0, or (3, 0).
