To solve this problem, you can create a system of equations and solve for each hiker's distance walked.
Hiker 1 distance walked: x
Hiker 2 distance walked: y
Their combined distance walked is 53 miles, thus -
x + y = 53
The difference between miles walked is 25, thus -
x - 25 = y
Let's solve using substitution. To do that, substitute x - 23 into x + y = 53 for y.
x + y = 53
x + (x - 25) = 53
x + x - 25 = 53
2x - 25 = 53
2x = 78
x = 39
To find y, substitute 39 for x into either of the equations.
x + y = 53
39 + y = 53
y = 14
Finally, check all work.
x + y = 53
39 + 14 = 53
53 = 53
x - 25 = y
39 - 25 = 14
14 = 14
Answer:
One hiker walked 39 miles and the other hiker walked 14 miles.
You would first divide 5 by 8 to get 0.625.
Then you compare.
0.7 > 5/8 (0.625)
Answer:
AAS
Step-by-step explanation:
140 * 0.15 = 21
15% of 140 is 21
Sorry if i get this wrong... but I'd say 1/2
