Let the number of hours she spent in baby- sitting is x

and the number of hours she spent in music lessons is y.

Now, we have been given that she worked a total of 18 hours. Hence, we have

x+y=18\\
y=18-x...............................(1)

And she made $139. Thus, we have

5x+12y=139..............................(2)

Substituting the value of y from equation 1 in 2, we get

5x+12(18-x)=139\\
5x+216-12x=139\\
-7x=-77\\
x=11

Therefore, she spent 11 hours in baby-sitting.

First, he needs to run to the store. To get to the store from his apartment, he can walk 1.2 miles North and 0.5 miles East alon
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

If Henry walks along the sidewalks, he will walk 1.7 miles in total. It will take him 17 minutes to reach the store and another 17 minutes to come back.

If Henry cuts through the city, he will walk √(1.2² + 0.5²) = 1.3 miles in total. It will take him 22.3 minutes to reach the store and another 22.3 minutes to come back.

Even though Henry will need to walk a longer distance if he walks along the sidewalks, he will be able to reach the store and back back in a shorter time than if he cuts through the city.

Answer:

44.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Betsy drove from london to wolverhampton.it took her 2.5 hours at an average speed of 56 miles per hour.Mac drove the same journy by motor bike.It took him 2 hours.Assuming that both took the same route,work out Mac's average speed in mph.

The above question is solved using Proportion method

2.5 hours = 56 mph

2 hours = x mph

Cross Multiply

2.5 hours × x mph = 2 hours × 56 mph

x mph = 2 hours × 56 mph/2.5 hours

x mph = 44.8 mph

Therefore, Mac's average speed = 44.8 mph
