ANSWER

It took 1 hour 30 minutes

EXPLANATION

It was given that Elena and Jada are 12 miles apart.

This means that the distance between them is

d = 12 \: miles

We use the formula,

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

If Elena covers d miles in
t_1 \: hours

Then Jada will cover,
( 12-d) \: miles

in
t_2 \: hours

We were told that Elena runs at a constant speed of 5 miles per hour.

This implies that,
5 = \frac{d}{t_1}

t_1= \frac{d}{5} ...eqn1

and Jadda walks a constant speed of 3 miles per hour.

This implies that,

3 = \frac{12-d}{t_2}

This implies that,

t_2 = \frac{12-d}{3} ...eqn2

When Elena and Jada meets,then

t_2 = t_1

We equate the two equations and solve. This implies that,

\frac{d}{5} = \frac{12-d}{3}

We cross multiply to get,

3d = 5(12-d)

3d = 60-5d

This implies that,

8d= 60

d = 7.5

The time they met was after

\frac{7.5}{5} = 1.5\: hours

If you really want to figure this out you make an equation to solve for the time
let's let
x = time from Elena to Jada and
x = time from Jada to Elena
12 then the equation
12 = 5x +3x
would help figuring out their distance say for one of them
12 = x(5+3)
12/8 = x
1.5 = x
1. 5 hours they will meet up

There are 120 students in the seventh grade. Seventy percent of these students are involved in extracurricular activites. How ma
Tanzania [10]

First, turn 70% into a decimal by dividing 70 by 100.

70% ⇒ 0.70

Multiply 120 by 0.70.

120 × 0.70 = 84

Now we know that 84 students are involved in extracurricular activities. Subtract 84 from 120 to find the amount of students who are <em>not</em> involved in extracurricular activities.

120 - 84 = 36

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>36 seventh grade students are not involved in extracurricular activities.</u>
