Answer: He get 24 miles before his tire went flat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles he get before his tire went flat be 'x'.

Speed at which he left his house and rode his bike into town = 6 mph

Speed at which he got a flat tire so he had to turn around and walk his bike back to his house = 2 mph

Total time taken by the trip down and back = 16 hours

According to question,

\dfrac{x}{6}+\dfrac{x}{2}=16\\\\\dfrac{x+3x}{6}=16\\\\\dfrac{4x}{6}=16\\\\x=\dfrac{16\times 6}{4}\\\\x=4\times 6\\\\x=24\ miles

Hence, he get 24 miles before his tire went flat.

Raven is considering taking out a 30-year loan with monthly payments of
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If Raven's monthly payment were $125, the amount of the loan that she is considering taking out  would be less than $43,205.56.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about it this way it may be more simple. If the APR stays constant then a greater payment will result in a greater loan. The opposite is also true meaning a lesser payment will result in a lesser loan. If the amount Raven pays is greater than $145 then the loan will be greater than $43,205.56. If the amount she pays is less than $145 then the loan will be less than $43,205.56. Of the options, only one of these situations will be present. In my case, the correct option was a payment of $125 will result in a lesser loan than $43,205.56.
