Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist
Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40
Calculating gives x = 14
Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
Answer:
The wife gets £468 over the son
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we shall calculate the total amount Brian made from from what he and Paul won.
The ratio is 1:4, meaning for every 2 part Brain takes, Paul takes 4
Paul’s share is thus 1/5 * 7800 = 7800/5 = £1560
Now we have another ratio for sharing the amount Brain has at home.
The total ratio here is 1+6+3 = 10
The share of the wife will be 6/10 * 1560 = 6 * 156 = 936
The son share is half of this which is 936/2 = 468
The difference between their shares is £936-£468 = £468
Answer:
b = 
Step-by-step explanation:
b + 
= 1 
← change to an improper fraction
b + = 
Multiply through by 12 ( the LCM of 3 and 4 ) to clear the fractions
12b + 8 = 15 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
12b = 7 ( divide both sides by 12 )
b =
Answer:
97.75
Step-by-step explanation:
15% of 85 is 12.75
12.75 + 85 = 97.75
