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.

A number is chosen at random from 1 to 25. Find the probability of selecting an even number or multiple of 13
sdas [7]

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability of selecting an even number or multiple of 13 is 13/25.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}

Number of even numbers between 1 to 25 = 22

Number of multiple of 13 between 1 to 25 = 1

The probability of selecting an even number or multiple of 13 is,

Probability = (12+1)/25 = 13/25


Hence, The probability of selecting an even number or multiple of 13 is 13/25.

Andrei [34K]

Answer: 23498.935


Step-by-step explanation:

this helped me in middle school so please remember this equation

A=P(1+R/N)NT

A=AMOUNT

P=PRINCIPAL

R=INTEREST RATE

N=NUMBERS OF TIMES THE INTEREST  IS COMPOUNDED

NT=TIME(YEARS

So now we have this... right...

A=P(1+R/N)NT

you have to fill it in and you will get

a=22,150(1+3/1)^2

put that in your handy dandy calculator and you will get your answer
