Answer:

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

$\frac{1/5}{1}$ = $\frac{1/6}{x}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

The sum of squares of two consecutive odd numbers is 514 find the numbers

amid [387]

Correct Question : The sum of squares of two consecutive positive odd numbers is 514. Find the numbers.

$\rule{130}1$

Solution :

Let the two consecutive positive odd numbers be x and (x + 2)

$\rule{130}1$

☯ $\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}$

$:\implies\sf x^2 + (x + 2)^{2} = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 514 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 514 - 4\\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x = 510 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 2x^2 + 4x - 510 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 2x - 255 = 0 \:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Dividing\:by\:2}\Bigg\rgroup\\\\\\:\implies\sf x^2 + 17x - 15x - 255 = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf x(x + 17) - 15(x + 17) = 0\\\\\\:\implies\sf (x + 17) (x - 15)\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = - 17\:or\:x = 15\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed {\sf x = 15}}\:\:\:\:\:\Bigg\lgroup \bf{Positive\:odd\: number}\Bigg\rgroup$

When,

$\bullet\: \textsf {x = } \textbf {15}$

$\bullet\: \sf x + 2 = 15 + 2 =\textbf{ 17}$

$\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The required positive integer is \textbf{15 and 17}}}.$

Here is the simple answer of how far she gets in 1km, about 0.227 of a kilometer in one minute. If you were to convert kilometers into meters then it would be 227.8 meters in a minute.
