Let the time that you caught up with your friend be t, then
8.5 - 3.4t = 8 - 3t
3.4t - 3t = 8.5 - 8
0.4t = 0.5
t = 0.5/0.4 = 1.25
therefore, you will catch up with your friend after 1.25 hours.

b.) time it will take you to cross the finnish line = 8.5/3.4 = 2.5 hours
After 2.5 hours, distance covered by your friend = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 miles
Therefore, when you cross the finish line, you are 8 - 7.5 = 0.5 miles ahead of your friend.

A. in one hour, you will reduce the distance for 3.4 - 3 = 0.4 miles

which means you can catch up 0.1 miles for every 15 minutes

The amount of time before you catch up would be : 1 hour + 15 minutes



B. after catching up, there is only 8 miles distance remain

to achieve 8 miles, you need  8/ 3.4  = 2.35 hours

Distance created = 2.35 x 0.4
                            = +/- 0.94 miles

Each cube in this solid figure is a unit cube.<br><br> What is the volume of this solid figure?
padilas [110]

Answer:

The volume of this given solid figure is 18 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given the volume of 1 small cube = 1 cubic units

Now, counting the total cubes in the given solid figure, we get

Number of cubes in base row = 10

Number of cubes in middle row  = 6

Number of cubes in top most row = 2

So, the total number of cubes in the figure  = 10 + 6 + 2 = 18 cubes

So, the volume of 18 cubes  = 18 ( Volume of 1 small cube)

                                              =  18 x (1 cubic units)  = 18 cubic units

Hence, the volume of this given solid figure is 18 cubic units.
