Step-by-step explanation:
let X = speed of slow bicycle rider
2x=speed of fast bicycle rider
3(x+2x)=72
X=8mph(slowest bicycle rider)
2x=16mph(fastest bicycle rider)
Answer:
m + n = 15
m - 3 = n
The numbers are 9 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m + n = 15 ..... (1)
Also, from the question,
One number is three less than the other,
Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m - 3 = n ...... (2)
If desired, we can determine m and n
From equation (1)
m + n = 15
Then,
m = 15 - n ...... (3)
Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)
m - 3 = n
Then
15 - n - 3 = n
15 - 3 = n + n
12 = 2n
n = 12/2
∴ n = 6
For m, put the value of n into equation 3
m = 15 - n
m = 15 - 6
m = 9
∴ m = 9 and n = 6
Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6
The ratio of linear dimensions (side lengths) is the square root of the ratio of areas.
√1 : √4 = 1 : 2

B. 1:2
Answer:
1 page takes her 22.5 minutes for each page
Step-by-step explanation:
Cremini:
$11.25 for 2/3 lb
2/3 lb = $11.25
1 lb = 11.25 ÷ 2/3 = $16.88 (nearest cent)
Chanterelle:
$7.99 for 1/2 lb
1/2 lb = $7.99
1 lb = $7.99 x 2 = $15.98
Answer: Chanterelle costs less. It costs $0.90 less than Cremini.
