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.

Find the greatest common factor of 24, 64, 108.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), start by listing the factors of each number.

For 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

For 64: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

For 108: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18

Since all the factors are now written out, we can find the greatest common factor between 24, 64, and 108, and the GCF is 4.
