Length = 2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2W+2L

14x+8 =2(5x)+2L

14x+8=10x+2L

14x+8-10x=2L

4x+8=2L

(4x+8)/2=L

Jonathan increased his rate of walking by 25% at halfway to his destination and therefore arrived half an hour earlier than was

Flura [38]

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):

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

. Mrs. Rojas deposited $8000 into an account paying 4% interest annually. After 8 months Mrs. Rojas withdrew the $6000 plus inte

Mashcka [7]

well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\to \frac{8}{12}\dotfill &\frac{2}{3} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(\frac{2}{3})]\implies A=6000\left( \frac{77}{75} \right)\implies A=6160$

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.

what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(1)]\implies A=6240$

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

$\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{for 8 months}}{160}}{\underset{\textit{for 12 months}}{240}}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}$
