Answer: Marcus's walking speed is 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marcus's walking speed.

His speed on the bicycle is 6 mi/h faster than his walking speed. This means that his speed on the bicycle would be

x + 6

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by Marcus in walking 1 mile to the library is

1/x

Time spent by Marcus in bicycling 2.5 miles to the sporting good store is

2.5/(x + 6)

Since the time that he spends in walking to the library is about the same time that he spends in bicycling to the sporting good store, then

1/x = 2.5/(x + 6)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

1 × (x + 6) = 2.5 × x

x + 6 = 2.5x

2.5x - x = 6

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5 = 4

A square has a side of 6.25 feet. What is the area in square feet? Round to the correct significant digits.
Hunter-Best [27]

The solution to this question is 39.0625.

This is because you will need to multiply the width by height. As this is in square feet it will be irrespective of which two sides we choose.

The calculation that will need to be done is the following :

6.25ft X 6.25ft which will equal 39.0625.

6.25 has three significant digits so rounding 39.0625 off to three significant digits is 39.1 square feet
