Answer:
The third option
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the difference
5/6-3/4 (you have to get the same denominators by multiply the individual fractions)
(5/6)*2 and (3/4)*3 to get a denominator of 12
10/12-9/12 (subtract numerators, leave denominator)
=1/12 which is the answer

Answer:
4 mi/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.
Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...
c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs
c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle
c² = 2
c = √2
That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.
B is the answer to this question.
1 1/10
