Answer:

12 mph and 16 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = speed * time

56 = s * 2 + (s - 4) * 2

56 = 2s + 2s - 8

56 = 4s - 8

64 = 4s

16 = s

s = 16

s - 4 = 12

Let the speed of the faster bike = X

The slower bike would be x - 4 ( 4 mph slower)

Multiply each speed by time and add to equal total distance:

2x + 2(x-4) = 56

Simplify:

2x + 2x -8 = 56

4x -8 = 56

Add 8 to each side:

4x = 64

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 64/4

x = 16

The faster bike rode at 16 miles per hour

The slower bike traveled at 16-4 = 12 miles per hour

The answer is 19\frac{1}{4}

First you must set up the equation

-2\frac{3}{4}÷-\frac{1}{7}

First, you must make the mixed number a improper fraction

-\frac{11}{4}÷-\frac{1}{7}

Then you must divide

\frac{77}{4}

Finally, simplify

19\frac{1}{4}

20 points help plz.
Andrews [41]
This area is equal to the sum of a circle with a radius of 5/2 in and a rectangle 5 by 15 in so:

A=πr^2+xy

A=π(2.5)^2+5*15

A=6.25π+75 in^2

A≈94.63 in^2  (to nearest hundredth) so

A≈95 in^2 (to nearest whole square inch)
