Answer:
She is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The rate of walking is 90 yards per minute.
Now, to find the rate in feet per second.
1 yard = 3 foot.
1 minute = 60 seconds.
So, first we find the rate of walking per second in yard =
Therefore by dividing we get =
Now, we find the rate of walking per second in feet =
So, by multiplying we get =
Therefore, she is going at the rate of 4.5 feet per second.
Answer:
<em>Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>System of Equations</u>
We'll call the following variables:
x = Terry's balance in his bank account
y = Faye's balance in her bank account
The initial relation between them is:
Cross-multiplying:
5x = 3y [1]
If Terry put £220 in his account he had x+220 and if Faye withdrew £300 from her account, she had y-300. Both quantities are equal, thus
x + 220 = y - 300
Subtracting 220:
x = y - 520 [2]
Substituting in [1]
5(y - 520) = 3y
Multiplying:
5y - 2600 = 3y
Adding 2600 and subtracting 3y:
2y = 2600
Dividing by 2:
y = 1300
From [2]:
x = 1300 - 520
x = 780
Terry had £780 initially and Faye had £1300
