He drove 178 miles in the afternoon. 248-70=178
It takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that 3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours
To find: Time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room
Assume the time needed to paint the room is inversely proportional to the number of worker
Where, "k" is the constant of proportionality
<em><u>3 workers can paint a room in 2 hours</u></em>
Substitute number of workers = 3 and time = 2 hours
Therefore,
To find time taken for 4 workers to paint the same room, substitute number of workers = 4 in above expression
Thus it takes 1.5 hours for 4 workers to paint the same room
ns +sb = 5.4 cm
sb = en so en can be plugged in for sb
therefor es = 5.4
Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
