Answer:

10 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Elene = 3m/s

Speed of Abbi = 2m/s

Let the  time be t  seconds taken by Elene to  catch abbi.

Distance for any speed S and time is calculated by formula given below

Distance = speed * time

  • distance covered by Elene in time t =  3m/s * t = 3t m  -->equation A
  • distance covered by Abbi in time t =  2m/s* t = 2t m  --> equation B

Since it is given that Elene has given abbi 10 m head start it means that

Elene has to run extra 10 meters than Abbi to catch abbi.

Thus we can say that

distance run by Elene = 10 m + distance run by Abbi

Substituting that value distance run by Elene from equation A

and distance run by Abbi from equation B

we have

3t = 2t +10

=>3t - 2t = 10

=> t = 10

Therefore it will take 10 second for elene to catch abbi.

Find x when y=5 if y varies inversely as x and x=6 when y =-18
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
It has been given that y varies inversely with x, therefore the equation for this relationship is as follows;
y =\frac{k}{x}\
when y = -18 and x = 6
-18 = k/ 6 ---1)
We need to find x when y = 5
 5 = k/x
when we divide 1)/2), k gets cancelled 

\frac{-18}{5}=  \frac{x}{6}
x = -18*6/5
x = -21.6
when y = 5, then x = -21.6

10x +1 12x-5 solve for x
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 1 = 12x - 5

Subtract 1 from each side

10x = 12x - 6

Subtract 12x from each side

-2x = -6

Divided by -2

x = 3

⦁ A total of 640 people voted in an election. The circle graph shows the results. ⦁ How many people voted for Goron? Show your w
Bezzdna [24]

Circle graphs or pie charts are used to represent data in percentages or proportions

  • 192 voted for Goron
  • 288 voted for Smith or Fishman

<h3>People that voted for Goron</h3>

The total number of votes is given as:

Total = 640

The circle chart is not given.

So, we make use of an assumed value

Assume 30% voted for Goron

The number of people would be:

Goron = 30% * 640

Evaluate

Goron = 192

Hence, 192 voted for Goron using the assumed value

<h3>People that voted for Smith or Fishman</h3>

Assume 45% voted for Smith or Fishman

The number of people would be:

Smith or Fishman = 45% * 640

Evaluate

Smith or Fishman = 288

Hence, 288 voted for Smith or Fishman using the assumed value
