Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashok and Brian are both walking east along the same path; Ashok walks at a faster constant speed than does Brian. If Brian starts 30 miles east of Ashok and both begin walking at the same time, how many miles will Brian walk before Ashok catches up with him?

Statement 1. Brian’s walking speed is twice the difference between Ashok’s walking speed and his own

Statement 2. If Ashok’s walking speed were five times as great, it would be three times the sum of his and Brian’s actual walking speeds

Solution

A. Brian’s walking speed is twice the difference between Ashok’s walking speed and his own.

Let Brian speed=b

Ashok speed=a

Brian's walking speed=2(a-b)

b=2(a-b)

Divide both sides by 2

b/2=a-b

Ashok catches up in (time)= distance /( relative rate

=30/(a-b)

=30/(b/2)

=30÷b/2

=30*2/b

=60/b.

By that time Brian will cover a distance of

distance=rate*time

=b*60/b

=2(a-b)*60/2(a-b)

=60 miles

(2) If Ashok’s walking speed were five times as great, it would be three times the sum of his and Brian’s actual walking speeds.

5a=3(a+b)

5a=3a+3b

5a-3a=3b

2a=3b

Find the common denominator of 6 and 4.
6: 6, 12...
4: 8, 12...

We can use 12 for this example.

5/6 to ?/12.
12 / 6 = 2, therefore do 5 x 2.
5 x 2 = 10. 10/12.

1/4 to ?/12.
12 / 4 = 3, therefore do 3 x 1.
3 x 1 = 3. 3/12.

13/12. 1 1/12.

I believe you ran out of space or didn't put answer D. I researched this question and concluded that the other choice is 1 and 1/12.

The answer is 1 and 1/12.

Find the slope of (1,8) and (-1,-4)
aniked [119]

Answer: slope= 6

Slope intercept equation= y= 6x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula: (y2 - y1) ÷ (x2 - x1) > (-4-8) ÷ (-1-1) = -12/-2 or 6

Plug slope (-6) and one coordinate into point slope form: y-1=m (x-1)

where m is slope and (1,8) would be (x,y)

Y-8= 6(x-1) > y-8 = 5x -6 > y= 6x +2

shopkeeper purchased a bicycle for rupees 5000 and marked its price a certain percent above the cost price then he sold it at 10
Gennadij [26K]

Lets say the final price of the bike is SP plus 13% VAT. So:

1.13 * SP = 6356.25

SP = 5625

Now SP was after 10% discount on Original Price, say MP. So:

0.9 * MP = 5625

MP = 6250

Therefore, the percent of Marked Price above Cost Price is:

(6250 - 5000) * 100/5000 = 25%
