<span>You run 0.5 miles every 3 minutes => 1 mile every 6 minutes. Your friend runs 2 miles every 14 minutes => 1 mile every 7 minutes. You run a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 6. Your freind runs a whole number of miles every number of minutes that is a multiple of 7 Then the least possible number of miles that you both run to end at the same time is the least common factor of 7 and 6 minutes. This is 7 * 6 = 42 minutes. You will have run 42 min / (6 miles/min) = 7 miles, and your friend will have run 42 min / (7 miles/min) = 6 miles</span>
You can create and solve a proportion to get this answer.
Let x be the number of litters in 2500.
1. Write out proportion. 1/1000=x/2500
2. Cross Multiply. 1000x=2500
3. Divide by 1000 on each side. x=25
Answer:
x =±2 sqrt(6)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 24
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(24)
x = ±sqrt(4*6)
x =±sqrt(4) sqrt(6)
x =±2 sqrt(6)
