Answer:

D: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the rate of the faster jogger

Therefore (x-2) mph is the rate of the slower jogger

After 3 hours faster jogger will be 3x miles from the starting point

Whereas after the 3 hours slower jogger will be 3(x-2) miles from the starting point but in the opposite direction.

Since they are 30 miles apart 3x+3(x-2)=30

3x+3x-6=30

⇒ 3x+3x=30 +6

⇒ 6x=36

⇒ x=6

Therefore the rate of the faster jogger = 6 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

However, there is 53 kids to find how many adults you will have to do 79 - 53 which that = 26 so 26 adults were there. so 26 * 8.50 = 221.

To fine how much money they earn you will just have to add them up so

$212 + $ 221 = $433 so they didn't really earn the amount of money they really want which is $ 460.

Q = 30, R = 80, P = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

in triangle PQR, <P - <Q = 20 degrees, <Q - <R = 50 degrees, find <P, <Q, <R

R  =  Q +50, 80=30+50

P  =  Q + 20, 50=30+20

Q = 30, R = 80, P = 50

Drupady [299]
I = PRT
I = 240
R = 1.6% = 0.016
T = 3

now we sub and solve for P, the money he should deposit
240 = P * 0.016 * 3
240 = 0.048P
240 / 0.048 = P
5000 = P <==== ur answer is 5,000
