Answer:
<u>The equations for each function:</u>
- A(t) = 60 - 6t
- B(t) = 42 - 3t
<em>The lines plotted, see attached</em>
<u>The point at which both the snowmen have same height:</u>
- 60 - 6t = 42 - 3t
- 6t - 3t = 60 - 42
- 3t = 18
- t = 6
<u>The required interval is </u>
4/6=66.67%
5/8=62.5%
Therfore 4/6 is bigger than 5/8
Answer:
12 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between jogging speed and walking speed means the time it takes to walk 4 miles is the same as the time it takes to jog 8 miles. Then the total travel time (0.75 h) is the time it would take to jog 1+8 = 9 miles. The jogging speed is ...
(9 mi)(.75 h) = 12 mi/h . . . average jogging speed
__
<em>Check</em>
1 mile will take (1 mi)/(12 mi/h) = 1/12 h to jog.
4 miles will take (4 mi)/(6 mi/h) = 4/6 = 8/12 h to walk.
The total travel time is (1/12 +8/12) h = 9/12 h = 3/4 h. (answer checks OK)

<em>Comment on the problem</em>
Olympic race-walking speed is on the order of 7.7 mi/h, so John's walking speed of 6 mi/h should be considered quite a bit faster than normal. The fastest marathon ever run is on the order of a bit more than 12 mi/h, so John's jogging speed is also quite a bit faster than normal. No wonder he got tired.
