It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Climbing rate of James = 3 mph

Running back rate of James = 4 mph

Climbing rate of Lucas = 2 mph

Running back rate = 5 mph

Total distance = 2 miles

We know that;

Distance = Speed * Time

As we have to find, we will rearrange the formula in terms of time

Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Time took by James for climbing = \frac{2}{3}\ hours

Time took for running back = \frac{2}{4}\ hours

Total time = \frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{8+6}{12}=\frac{14}{12}

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}\ hours

1 hour = 60

Total time taken by James = \frac{7}{6}*60=70\ minutes

Time took by Lucas for climbing = \frac{2}{2}=\ 1\ hour

Time took by Lucas for climbing = 60 minutes

Time took on return = \frac{2}{5} of\ an\ hour=\frac{2}{5}*60=24\ minutes

Total time taken by Lucas = 60+24 = 84 minutes

Therefore,

It took 70 minutes for James to finish and 84 minutes for Lucas to finish and James was faster.

ASAP!! PLEASE I NEED HELP!!
sergey [27]

Answer:

If the length is 50 yd, the width is  60 yd.

If the length is 40 yd, the width is  75 yd.

If the length is 48 yd, the width is  62.5 yd.

If the length is 36 yd, the width is 83.33 yd.

The length and the width vary inversely because when the length decreased the width increased

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The area of any rectangle A = L × W, where</em>

  • L is its length
  • W is its width

<em>The relation is direct proportion if the quotient of two quantity equals constant  (y/x = k, when y and x increased) and inverse if the product of the two quantity equals constant (yx = k, when x increased y decreased and vice versa)  </em>

∵ The area of the rectangular plot of land = 3000 yards²

∴ A = 3000

∵ Its length = 50 yards

∴ L = 50

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 50 × W

→ Divide both sides by 50 to find W

∴ 60 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 60 yards

∵ Its length = 40 yards

∴ L = 40

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 40 × W

→ Divide both sides by 40 to find W

∴ 75 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 75 yards

∵ Its length = 48 yards

∴ L = 48

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 48 × W

→ Divide both sides by 48 to find W

∴ 62.5 = W

∴ The width of the plot is 62.5 yards

∵ Its length = 36 yards

∴ L = 36

→ Substitute them in the rule above to find W

∵ 3000 = 36 × W

→ Divide both sides by 36 to find W

∴ 83. 33 = W

∴ The width of the plot is  83.33 yards

∵ The area is a constant value

∵ A = LW

→ The product of L and W equals the constant value, can you discover

   that from the values of L and W

∴  The length and the width of the rectangular plot vary inversely

dangina [55]

Answer:

6 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3 as a mixed number is 8/3

3 3/4 as a mixed number is 15/4

To make the 2 fractions have a common denominator, they become:

32/12 and 45/12

to add them up it will be: 77/12 which can be written as 6 5/12
