Answer: they will meet after 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the number of hours it will take them to meet.

A walker and a cyclist are 45 miles apart. If they move towards each other, in t hours, they would have covered a total of 45 miles

Distance = speed × time

They move towards each other with speeds of 5 mph and 10 mph respectively. It means that the distance covered by the walker in t hours is 5 × t = 5t

Also, the distance covered by the cyclist in t hours is 10 × t = 10t

Since the total distance covered us 45 miles, then

5t + 10t = 45

15t = 45

t = 45/15

t = 3 hours

Can someone help me with this question????

Answer:

Hi! I think I got the answer, it is a tricky one! The answer I got was C) 1029.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. It is good to first know that 40%more means 1.4 (some number). So, if n is 40% more than the sum of the other three numbers: n= 1.4* (<em>l +m+p)</em> .

2. Also note that: <em>n+l+m+p= </em>1764; so, <em>n = 1764-l-m-p.</em>

3. Since we have two expressions for n, we can equate them to each other. Giving, 1.4* (<em>l +m+p) =1764-l-m-p . </em>Simplifying we get 2.4 (<em>l +m+p)</em>=1764.

4. <em>l +m+p =1764/2=735.</em>

5. 1764-735=1029

Hope that helps! Feel free to message back if there are any questions!
