Answer:

1.67 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original speed of Jonathan = x units/hr

Let the original time taken by Jonathan = y hours

Let the distance = D units

Formula for distance is given as:

Distance = Speed \times Time

Given that half the distance is covered by original speed.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{D}{2} = \dfrac{x}{2}\times \dfrac{y}{2}\\\Rightarrow D = \dfrac{xy}{2} ..... (1)

Half the distance is covered by increasing the rate by 25%.

i.e. increased speed:

\dfrac{5}{4}x\ units/hr

Hence, Time taken:

\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}

Distance traveled is half of the total distance:

\Rightarrow \dfrac{D}{2} = \dfrac{5x}{4}\times (\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\\Rightarrow D = \dfrac{5x}{2}\times (\dfrac{y}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}) .... (2)

Dividing (1) by (2):

\dfrac{xy\times 4}{2\times 5x(y-1)} = 1\\\Rightarrow 2y=5y-5\\\Rightarrow 3y=5\\\Rightarrow y =1.67\ hours

eric can spend a maximum of $270 on office supplies. Each rem of paper costs $6. Each ink catridge costs $18. Which of the follo
Vladimir [108]
If we say A = ream of paper and B = cost of ink than we can set-up an expression to calculate when A is equal to a number what the number of B will be. Maximim of 270$ so anything we buy must be equal to this. Ream of paper cost 6$ each so 6A represents the number of reams bought since we said A is number of reams of paper. Ink Cartridges are 18$ each so 18B would represent this based on B = to cost of ink. Now setting up our equation 6A + 18B = 270 When A = 1 B = 14.67 Ink Cartridges When A = 1 Ream ofpaper

Solve for the roots in simplest form by completing the square <br><br> x^2-12x+20=0
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x = 10 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0

Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Subtract 20 from both sides:

x^2 - 12 x = -20

Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.

Add 36 to both sides:

x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16

Hint: | Factor the left hand side.

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 6)^2 = 16

Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 10 or x - 6 = -4

Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.

Add 6 to both sides:

Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
