The two girls did not travel the same distance, because 0.07 is seven hundredths (7/100), and it is less than 7/10. ;)

Answer:

Both girls traveled different distances.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mei rode her bike 7/10 miles to school. Her friend Julie walked. 0.07 miles to school. We are asked to determine whether the distance traveled by both girls are equal or not.

First of all, we will represent 7/10 miles into decimal as:

$\frac{7}{10}\text{ miles}=0.7\text{ miles}$

We can see that Mei traveled 0.7 miles, while Julie traveled 0.07 miles. Since 0.7 is not equal to 0.07, therefore, both girls traveled different distances.

$15,074 is invested, part at 14% and the rest at 5%. If the interest earned from the amount invested at 14% exceeds the interest

Flauer [41]

The rate at 14% and 5% are $12, 883 and $2191 respectively.

<h3>How to determine the rate</h3>

Given that;

Invested amount = $ 15, 074 at 14% and 5%

Let rate at 14% = x

rate at 5% = y

We have rate at 9% exceeds that of 5% by $1694. 07

Hence,

0. 14x = 0. 05y + $1694. 07 ⇒ equation 1
