A seagull was flying about sea level looking to catch a fish below sea level. The elevation above sea level was 125 1/2 feet. He

spots a fish that is 45 1/2 feet below sea level.
The seagull stops exactly half way between his location above sea level and the fish’s location below sea level because he realizes he won’t catch it in time. What’s the seagull’s position in feet at the halfway point? Show work.

Answer:

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The seagull is at 125 1/2 feet above the sea level.

The fish is at 45 1/2 feet below the sea level.

The distance between the seagull and fish = seagull's distance above the sea level + fish's distance below the sea level

                                                  = 125 1/2 + 45 1/2

                                                  = \frac{251}{2} + \frac{91}{2}

                                                  = \frac{342}{2}

                                                  = 171

The distance between the seagull and fish is 171 feet.

Since the seagull stops halfway, then;

seagull's position = \frac{171}{2}

                             = 85.5

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

If it took 28 minutes to run 4 miles, then at that rate, how long would it take to run 20 miles?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

140 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

After 28 mins you've gone 4 miles, assuming this rate is constant and you dont slow down or speed up, in order to get to 20 miles you will have run 5x as much (20/4 = 5), thus 5x the amount of time (28x5).

20/4 = 5

5x28 = 140

11) -x + y = -1 ; 2x - y = 0
y = -1 + x ; 2x - (-1+x) = 0 ⇒ 2x + 1 - x = 0 ⇒x = -1 
y = -1 + (-1) ⇒ y = -2

12) -2x + y = -20 ; 2x + y = 48
y = -20 + 2x ; 2x + (-20 + 2x) = 48 ⇒ 2x -20 + 2x = 48 ⇒ 4x = 48 + 20
                      4x = 68 ⇒ x = 68/4 ⇒ x = 17
y = -20 + 2(17) ⇒ y = -20 + 34 ⇒ y = 14

13) 3x -y = -2 ; -2x + y = 3
y = 3 + 2x ; 3x - (3 + 2x) = -2 ⇒ 3x - 3 - 2x = -2 ⇒ x = -2 + 3 ⇒ x = 1
y = 3 + 2(1) ⇒ y = 3 + 2 ⇒ y = 5

14) x - y = 4 ; x - 2y = 10
x = 4 + y ; (4 + y) - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 + y - 2y = 10 ⇒ 4 - y = 10 
                  ⇒ -y = 10 - 4 ⇒ -y = 6 ⇒  y = -6
x = 4 + (-6) ⇒ x = 4 - 6 ⇒ x = -2

15) x + 2y = 5 ; 3x + 2y = 17
x = 5 - 2y ; 3(5-2y) + 2y = 17 ⇒ 15 - 6y + 2y = 17 ⇒ -4y = 17 - 15
               ⇒ -4y = 2 ⇒ y = -2/4 ⇒ y = -1/2
x = 5 - 2(-1/2) ⇒ x = 5 + 2/2 ⇒ x = 5 + 1 ⇒ x = 6
