Answer:

  • Alan: 200 m/min
  • Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes. Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes, and the difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is ...

  9/(n -1) - 9/n = 3/4 . . . . . minutes

Multiplying by (4/3)n(n -1), we get

  12n -12(n -1) = n(n -1)

  12 = n(n -1)

Solutions to this are n=4 and n=-3. We are only interested in the positive solution, n = 4. Then Alan's speed in m/min is ...

  (4·450 m)/(9 min) = 200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is ...

  (3·450 m)/(9 min) = 150 m/min

Round 2.71828 to the hearest thousandth.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

2.718

Step-by-step explanation:

The thousandths place is 3 to the right of the decimal (the 8).

Since the next number is 2, the number stays the same and does not round up.

Hope this helps :)
