Given:
speed = distance / time

walking: 3 miles per hour
running 5 miles per hour
for a total of 3 hours.

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

6) What is 13% of 33.39?
icang [17]

Answer:

1. We assume, that the number 33.39 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 33.39 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33.39=100%.

4. We know, that x is 13% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 33.39=100%

2) x=13%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

33.39/x=100%/13%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 13% of 33.39

33.39/x=100/13

(33.39/x)*x=(100/13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

33.39=7.6923076923077*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6923076923077) to get x

33.39/7.6923076923077=x

4.3407=x

x=4.3407

now we have:

13% of 33.39=4.3407

Answer:

  58

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked points on the graph show that the number of hot cocoas sold decreases by 6 when the temperature goes up by 6 degrees. That is, the line has a slope of -1. The y-intercept is 100, so the equation of the line can be written as ...

  y = mx +b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

  y = -x +100

Then for x = 42, the expected value of y is ...

  y = -42 +100 = 58

Mei Mei can expect to sell 58 hot cocoas on a day when the high is 42°F.

Which linear inequality represents the graph below?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A.

It has a negative slope, so B and C are eliminated. The graph also has a solid line instead of a dashed line. This means D is eliminated because it is only greater than. If the graph had a dashed line, then D would be correct, but it does not.
