A biker’s speed is 1.5 times faster than a walker’s speed. They start moving simultaneously in the same direction from the same

point and, after 1.5 hours, the distance between them is 12.5 miles. What are their speeds?

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

a snowball is rolled down a giant hill. the radius of the snowball grows. every second the radius increases by 0.36 inches. four
Bad White [126]

Based on the fact that the radius of the snowball increases by 0.36 inches every second, the linear function can be found to be y = 0.36x + 1.66

<h3>How to find the linear function?</h3>

The linear function is the function that shows how to change in the rate of the independent variable would affect the rate of change in the dependent variable.

The linear function takes the form:

y = mx + b

y = dependent variable

m = slope or change in radius of snowball

x = seconds

b = y-intercept

Solving for the y-intercept gives:

3.1 = 0.36(4) + b

b = 3.1 - 1.44

= 1.66

The linear function is therefore:

y = 0.36x + 1.66

HELP MEEE PLS recipe cslls for 2 cups of suger and makes 48 cookies recipe B calls for 3 cups of suger and makes 54 of the same
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

So, when we solve for x we see that we can make 16 cookies using 1 cup of sugar. Then, yes, as you suggested we could divide 30 cookies by this ratio to see that we need less than 2 cups of sugar to make 30 cookies: And, as you said, this value is less than 2 cups, the value under Quantity B. Good job! I hope this helps :)
