Answer:

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of hours it takes Leroy to catch up to Kevin equal x. Since speed multiplied by time is distance, Leroy would have run a total of 6x miles(6*x). Kevin already had a head start of 24 minutes, which is the same as 2/5 of an hour. In 2/5 an hour, Kevin ran 2 miles as 2 is 2/5 *5. For the next x hours his distance would be a total of 5x(5*x). This means, after x hours, Kevins distance is 5x + 2. In this case, catching up to someone is the same as having the same distance value. This means we can set the two expressions equal to each other, and solve:

6x = 5x + 2

x = 2

The time it took Leroy to catch up is 2 hours, but we are looking for the distance, which is represented by 6x. We substitute in 2 to get:

6(2) = 12

This means Leroy had to run 12 miles.

The sum of the first three terms of A.P is 18 if the first term is 4 find their product​
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the first 3 terms of the A. P is

a + a + d + a + 2d = 18, that is

3a + 3d = 18 ← substitute a = 4

12 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

3d = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

d = 2

Thus the first 3 terms are

4, 6, 8 and their product = 4 × 6 × 8 = 192

Which number sentences show ways to solve the problem?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c and d.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  15 × 9 = 135 and 135 – 75 = 60  This answer is not correct because it is not necessary to multiply the # members by the cost of each tree, the answer is incorrect.

B.  3 × 15 = 45 and 45 + 15 = 60  This answer is incorrect because it's using a number 3 that is not part of the data.

C.  45 ÷ 9 = 5 and 5 × 15 = 75 . This answer is correct, first finds the number of tree bought by each member and after that multiply it by the cost of each tree.

D.  45 × 15 = 675 and 675 ÷ 9 = 75 This answer is correct, first found the total cost and after divide it by the number of members.

The value of t that makes the factor e^(.032t) have the value of 2 can be found using logarithms.
  2 = e^(0.032t)
  ln(2) = ln(e^(0.032t)) = 0.032t
  t = ln(2)/0.032 ≈ 21.66

It would take 21.66 years for the cost to double.
