To solve this problem, let us first assign variables. Let
us say that:
A = runner
B = cyclist
d = distance
v = velocity
time = t
The time in which the cyclist overtakes the runner is the
time wherein the distance of the two is the same, that is:
dA = dB
We know that the formula for calculating distance is:
d = v t
therefore,
vA tA = vB tB
Further, we know that tA = tB + 2, therefore:
vA (tB + 2) = vB tB
4 (tB + 2) = 14 tB
4 tB + 8 = 14 tB
10 tB = 8
tB = 0.8 hours = 48 min
Therefore the cyclist overtakes the runner after 0.8
hours or 48 minutes.
Answer:
The answer is 3.6 acres per day
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate divide the number of acres by number of days
∴ Unit rate = 
÷ 
= (6 × 4 + 3)/4 ÷ (1 × 8 + 7)/8 = 27/4 ÷ 15/8
= 27/4 × 8/15 = 18/5 = 3.6 acres per day
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
![-2[-6(-4+7)]\\\\=(-2)(-6)(3)\\\\=12(3)\\\\=36](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-2%5B-6%28-4%2B7%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%28-2%29%28-6%29%283%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D12%283%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D36)
The term 2.5x represents the fact that the cost of dried fruit is 2.50 per pound, as 2.50 equals 2.5. the x represents the number of pounds bought. does that answer your question?
