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

If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.

A taxi fare is $3 and then $0.40 for every kilometre. A taxi fare is $9 . How far has the taxi travelled?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

y = 3 + 0.40x

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed cost of taxi fare = $3

Additional cost = $0.40

Let

y = Total cost

x = number of kilometers

The equation:

Total cost = Fixed cost of taxi fare + (Additional cost * number of kilometers)

y = 3 + 0.40x
