Answer:

Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of movement with constant velocity.

For this kind of problems, generally it is enough to remember the definition of average velocity v:

v=\frac{x}{t}

Where x is the change in position that took place in an interval t.

First, find the time that Jean, who cycled at 24 miles per hour, spent on the race:

Isolating t from the last equation,

t=\frac{x}{v}, and replacing the data for Jean movement:

t=\frac{120}{24}=5h

Second, find what was the distance that Giovanni had cycled when Jean crossed the line:

x=v*t\\ x=23.9*5=119.5

When Jean crossed the line he had cycled 120 miles, and Giovanni 119.5; so Giovanni was 0.5 miles from the finish line.

olga_2 [115]
First find the rate of growth
45000=18000(1+r)^(2010-2005)
Solve for r
r=((45,000÷18,000)^(1÷5)−1)×100
R=20%
Use it to find the population in 2015
P=45000(1+0.20)^(2015-2010)
P==111,974.4
