Two students are 1 foot apart on a straight path. Each student starts walking away from the other at the same moment. The first

student walks at a rate of 3 feet per second, and the second student’s rate is 1.5 times the first student’s rate. If x represents seconds, which equation can be used to determine how long it will take for the students to be a total of 28 feet apart?

Answer:

3x + 4.5x + 1 = 28

3.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial distance apart = 1 foot

Student A:

Walk rate = 3 ft per second

Student B:

1.5*3 = 4.5 ft per second

How long it will take to be a total of 28 feets apart

Distance = speed * time

Let time = x in seconds

Student A distance = 3x

Stident B distance = 4.5x

Initial distance = 1 foot

3x + 4.5x + 1 = 28

7.5x = 28 - 1

7.5x = 27

x = 27/ 7.5

x = 3.6 seconds

During the mayoral election,two debates were held between the candidates. The first debate lasted 1 2/3 hours.The second one was
butalik [34]

Answer:

2nd debate was 3 hours long.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that during the mayoral election,two debates were held between the candidates. The first debate lasted 1 2/3 hours. The second one was 1 4/5 times as long as the first one.

Let us find the estimate of time spent on 2nd debate.

1 2/3 hours would be approximately 2 hours. 1 4/5 times would be equal to 2 times.

2*2=4

Therefore, the estimated time is less 4 hours.

To find the time spent on 2nd debate, we will multiply 1 2/3 by 1 4/5.

First of all, we will convert mixed fractions into improper fractions as:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

1\frac{4}{5}=\frac{9}{5}

Now, we will multiply both fractions as:

\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{9}{5}

\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{9}{1}

\frac{9}{3}\Rightarrow 3

Therefore, the 2nd debate was 3 hours long.
