x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ,

HCF of 140 and x=20,

LCM of 140 and x =420.

Solution:

It is known that the product of two numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM, i-e:

140*x= HCF*LCM

Putting in the values provided,

140*x=20*420

140*x=8400

x=8400/140

x=60

Hence the variable x is 60.

notsponge [240]

So covert 4 minutes to seconds. Which would be 4 times 60 which would mean there would be 240 seconds. So you would multiply 15 x 240 = 3,600 feet. Then multiply 22 x 240 = 5,280 feet. 5,280 - 3,600 = 1,680 feet.

ANSWER:
Skateboarder B will have traveled 1,680 more feet over 4 minutes.
