Answer:
1) The puppy takes 10 minutes, the kitty takes 15 minutes.
2) The mama bear takes 9 minutes, the cub takes 18 minutes
3) The sidekick goes at 600 mph, the hero goes at 500 mph.
4) 10 Minutes
5) RSM is so hard, amiright?
Step-by-step explanation:
1) You can simplify the word problem into the equation 1/x + 1/x+5 = 1/6. For problems like these, you have to simplify the last part to a fraction, not a whole number. Then you just solve.
2) Same thing. 1/x + 1/x+9 = 1/6. Solve. Boom. Done.
3) A bit different, but it simplifies to 1800/x-100 - 1800/x = .6. Solve. C'mon, you should've been able to do this one.
4) Harder, simplifies to 75/x+225/x+15+2.5 = 300/x. You get the last part because the time the bear took is equal to the time it would normally take, which is the entire distance over the normal pace. Then you solve and there we go, most of your RSM homework is done.
