Answer:

Total distance covered by all three friends is,

15 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 3 km.

30 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 8 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let D denotes the distance that Duncan covered on his bike.

Let H denotes the distance that Harold covered on his bike.

Let S denotes the distance that Sara covered on her bike.

Duncan rode 2 kilometers on his bike.

Mathematically,

D = 2 km

Harold rode twice as far as Duncan and Sara combined.

Mathematically,

H = 2(D + S)

H = 2(2 + S)

H = 4 + 2S

The distance covered by three friends all together is  

D + H + S

We don’t have enough information at this point to find out the total distance covered by all of them, so we need to assume the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 0 km then

H = 4 + 2(0)

H = 4

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 4 + 0

6 km

But 6 km doesn’t match any given option so try assuming another value for the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 2 km then

H = 4 + 2(2)

H = 8

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 8 + 2

12 km

But 12 km doesn’t match any given option so try assuming another value for the distance covered by Sara.

Assuming that Sara covered 3 km then

H = 4 + 2(3)

H = 10

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 10 + 3

15 km

Assuming that Sara covered 8 km then

H = 4 + 2(8)

H = 20

Then total distance is

D + H + S

2 + 20 + 8

30 km

Therefore, the total distance covered by all three friends is,

15 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 3 km.

30 km assuming that Sara traveled a distance of 8 km.

write about which method you prefer to use to divide by 5 counting up, counting back on a number line, or dividing by 10, and th
maria [59]

Answer:

In First method : counting up, counting back on a number line,

If we want the quotient after dividing the number by 5 then we count how many 5 we get from 0 to the dividend.

For example :  \frac{30}{5}

Since, from 0 to 30 there are six 5's obtained. ( because 5 × 6 = 30 )

Thus,  \frac{30}{5}=6

In Second Method : dividing by 10, and then doubling the quotient.

First we divide the number by 10 then multiply the quotient by 2.

For Example: \frac{30}{5}

Since, \frac{30}{10}=3

2\times 3 = 6

Thus, \frac{30}{5}=6

Now, when we compare the above methods then we conclude that for the smaller numbers first method is appropriate because for small numbers we can easily count total 5's from 0. While for large numbers Second method is appropriate because it is hard to count the total 5's for the large number.

Two lengths of a triangle are shown.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two lengths of a triangle as

AB = 6ft

AC = 6ft

This is an isosceles triangle because only 2 sides are equal.

In an isosceles triangle, the sum of 2 (sides) lengths must be greater than the other length.

Therefore, let's assume the following:

i) AC + AB > BC

6 + 6 > BC

12 > BC (BC is less than 12)

BC < 12

ii) BC + AC > AB

BC + 6 > 6

BC > 6 - 6

BC > 0

Therefore the range of values for BC =

0 < BC < 12

Since BC must be bigger than one of the lengths and it must also be less than the sum of the 2 sides. The length of BC could be 11 because it is less than (6+6) 12 and greater than 6.

A line passes through the point (4 ‐6) and has a slope of ‐3/4 what is the equation
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

y= -3/4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/4 is the slope, so you replace m with the slope.

The y intercept is -3. If x is 4, and y is -6, we can plug that into an equation to find the y intercept. y=mx+b can change to -6= -3/4 * 4 + b. B = -3.
