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

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

254.5 in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter of mirror = 12 in.

radius of mirror = diameter/2 = 13 in. / 2 = 6 in.

frame width = 3 in.

radius if combined mirror and frame = 6 in. + 3 in. = 9 in.

A = (pi)(r^2)

A = 3.14159 * (9 in.)^2

A = 3.14159 * 81 in.^2

A = 254.5 in.^2
