 x = longer section
y = shorter section

x + y = 109
x = 2y + 10

so we sub in eq 2 into eq 1
2y + 10 + y = 109
3y + 10 = 109
3y = 109 - 10
3y = 99
y = 99/3
y = 33 <=== shorter section is 33 cm

x = 2y + 10
x = 2(33) + 10
x = 66 + 10
x = 76 <=== longer section is 76 cm

A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds . What was the cheetah's average speed in miles per hour ? Show your work .
vivado [14]
Cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds.

Average speed in miles per hour.

Converting 300 feet to mile.
5280 feet  =  1 mile
1 feet    =    (1/5280) mile
300 feet =    (1/5280) * 300 = (300/5280) = (30/528) = (10/176) mile.

2.92 seconds to hour.
3600 seconds  =    1 hour
1 second          =  (1/3600) hour
2.92 seconds    =    2.92 * (1/3600) =  (2.92/3600) hour.

Speed of Cheetah in miles per hour =    (10/176) mile  /  (2.92/3600) hour
                                                     =  70.05 miles/hour
