So j completed 6/7 of a lap
gabe has completed 2/9 lap
so
1 j lap=7 mins s o
7j
j=num of laps
1 g lap=9 mins so
9g
g=num of laps
then 6+j
and g+2

so
when will the times be equal
7j+6=9g+2
subtract 2 from both sides
7j+4=9g
divide both sides by 9
7/9j+4/9=g
so to get a whole number of laps, we must subsitute a number when it is multiplied by 7 then add 4, we get a multiplue of 9
so if j=2
7/9(2)+4/9=g=14/9+4/9=g=18/9=g=2
so josh and gabe must run 2 lap each because
6+(2 times 7)=2+(9 times 2)
6+14=2+18
20=20
true so

the answer is 2 laps

HELP!!! Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an
VLD [36.1K]
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, thenx/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.1255x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.1255x + 30 - 2x = 453x = 45 - 30 = 15x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutesThe distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
