Answer:

$6\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> number of miles Vera ran

y-----> number of miles Ella ran

we know that

$x+y=24$ -----> equation A

$y=3x$ -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

$x+(3x)=24$

$4x=24$

$x=6\ miles$

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

$ 1.10

Step-by-step explanation:

p + r = 1.45....p = 1.45 - r

2p + r = 1.80

2(1.45 - r) + r = 1.80

2.90 - 2r + r = 1.80

-2r + r = 1.80 - 2.90

-r = - 1.10

r = 1.10 <=== a ruler costs $ 1.10

p + r = 1.45

p + 1.10 = 1.45

p = 1.45 - 1.10

p = 0.35 .......a pencil will cost $ 0.35
