Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys : Girls = 7 : 8

Let the number of boy = 7x

The number of girls = 8x

Number of boys after 20% increase = 120% of 7x

                                                            = 1.2 * 7x

                                                             = 8.4 x

                               

Number of girls after 10% increase = 110% of 8x

                                                           = 1.1 * 8x

                                                           = 8.8x                    

After increase in number of boys & girls = 8.4x : 8.8x

                      = 84 : 88    { reduce to simplest form by giving by 4th table}

                     = 21 :  22

A walk-a-thon was held at a local middle school. These are the average distances and times for three walkers at different times
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The person that completed the 2 miles route first is Lakeisha and he did it in a time of 41.15 minutes

<h3>How to find total time from distance?</h3>

The average distances and times are as follows;

Lakeisha: distance = 7/8; Time = 18 minutes

Baydan: distance = 9/10; Time = 22 minutes

Madison: distance = 4/5; Time = 17 minutes

Formula for speed is;

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed of Lakeisha = (7/8)/18 = 0.0486 Miles per minutes

Speed of Bayden = (9/10)/22 = 0.041 Miles per minutes

Speed of Madison = (4/5)/17 = 0.047 Miles per minutes

Thus, the person that will complete the 2 miles route first is the person with the fastest speed which is Lakeisha.

Time he will take to complete the 2 miles route = 2/0.0486 = 41.15 minutes
