Let the walker’s speed be W, then the biker’s is W+1.5W=2.5W. Difference in speed is 1.5W. Distance=speed times time, so 12.5=1.5W×1.5=2.25W, and W=12.5/2.25=1250/225=50/9=5.56 mph. The biker’s speed is 2.5W=125/9=13.89 mph to 2 Dec places.
(Note: “1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed” could not reasonably mean the biker’s speed=1.5W because this would give W=16.67 mph, which is very fast for a runner, let alone a walker (!), and a biker’s speed of 25mph.)

Answer: Speed of walker and biker will be 16.67 miles per hour and 25 miles per hour respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of a walker be x

Let the speed of a biker be 1.5x

They are moving in the same direction,

so, their Relative speed will be

1.5x-x=0.5x

Time taken = 1.5 hours

Distance between them = 12.5 miles

As we know the formula for "Distance":

Distance=Speed\times time\\\\12.5=1.5\times 0.5x\\\\\frac{12.5}{1.5}=0.5x\\\\8.33=0.5x\\\\\frac{8.33}{0.5}=x\\\\16.67\ miles\ per\ hour=x

Hence, Speed of walker be 16.67 miles per hour

Speed of biker be

1.5\times 16.67=25\ miles\ per\ hour

What are the intercepts of this line?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

x-intercept is -1; y-intercept is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept is relatively easy to read off.  It's the x-value where the graph crosses the x-axis, and here is (-1,0).

The y-intercept is best estimated as (0,+0.5).

The correct answer is the 3rd one on the list.

Veronika [31]

Answer:

  B.  x < $5 or x > $15

Step-by-step explanation:

The "or" in the problem statement gives you a clue that answer choices C and D can be rejected.

If x is the stock value, then value per share "below $5" means x < $5. This corresponds with answer choice B. Of course, "above $15" means x > $15, also corresponding to answer choice B.
