Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
You have the equation 
.
Then, to solve for the variable 
from the equation you need:
Make the subtraction of the right side of the equation:
(As the denominators are 1 and 
, the least common denominator is )
Multiply to both sides:
Add 
to both sides:
And finally divide both sides by 
:
We know that
speed=distance/time
solve for time
time=distance/speed
in this problem
<span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
</span><span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
Difference=7.2-6=1.2 miles/hour
so
speed=1.2 miles/hour
distance=0.3 miles
time=?
</span>time=distance/speed-----> 0.3/1.2-----> 0.25 hour-----> 0.25*60=15 minutes
<span>
the answer is
0.25 hour (15 minutes)
Alternative Method
Let
x---------> Fernando's distance when Marco is 0.3 miles apart
</span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
<span>for distance =x
time=x/7.2------> equation 1
</span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
for distance=x-0.30
time=(x-0.30)/6------> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
7.2*(x-0.3)=6x-----> 7.2x-2.16=6x
7.2x-6x=2.16------> x=2.16/1.2-------> x=1.8 miles
time=x/7.2-----1.8/7.2=0.25 hour
So basically, he wants to make mixture where lemon=lime
it is 6 gallons so
40% of 6=0.4 times 60=2.4=lemon
60% of 6=0.6 times 60=3.6=lime
so to make them equal
3.6-2.4=1.2
he must add 1.2 gallons of 100% lemon juice to make a mixture of 50% lemon and 50% lime
1.2 gallons is the answer
Answer: 3.5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
3 s + 7 h = 32 s = shoes h= hand grenades
6 s + 2 h = 22 Multiply first equation by -2 and add to second equation to get :
-12 h = -42
h = 3.5 pounds
