Answer:

3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Two cyclists leave town at the same time on the same road going in  the same direction.

Cyclist A is going 6 mph faster than cyclist B

Let speed of cyclist B be x mph

Speed of cyclist A be (x+6) mph

Both cyclist leave town at the same time and traveled 8 hours.  

  • Distance covered by cyclist A in 8 hours= 8(x+6)
  • Distance covered by cyclist B in 8 hours= 8x

After 8 hours cyclist A has traveled 3 times the distance as cyclist B

Therefore, 8(x+6) = 3(8x)

8x + 48 = 24x

24x - 8x = 48

       16x = 48

          x = 3 mph

Hence, The speed of cyclist B was 3 mph

The Helheim glacier in Greenland enters the ocean in a 6.3 kilometer wide fjord. The terminus of the glacier retreated 7.5 kilom
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

7.56 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Width of the fjord, w = 6.3 km

Retreated terminus of the glacier between may 2001 and June 2005, d = 7.5 km

thus, the length lost , y = 7.5 - 6.3 = 1.2 km

now, the area is given as:

A = Length × width

on substituting the values, we get

A = 1.2 × 6.3

or

A = 7.56 km²

Hence, the surface area lost by the glacier in the fjord is 7.56 km²
