<u>Answer</u>
Incorrect
<u>Explanation</u>
Unpack the problem:
Let the distance round the track to be X.
Speed is the ratio of distance to time.
Robert run a distance of (1/2)x
Elaine run a distance of (3/4)x
Make a plan:
Finding the speed of each.
Compare their speeds to determine who ran faster than who.
Solution:
Robert's speed =(1/2)x/(5/6)
=1/2×6/5x
= (3/5)x
= 0.6x
Elaine's speed = (3/4)x/(9/10)
= (3/4)×(10/9)x
= (5/6)x
= 0.83333x
<em>Elaine ran faster than Robert. </em>
<u>Look back and explain:</u>
0.83333x > 0.6x
Elaine's speed is higher than Robert's speed.
This shows that Elaine ran faster than Robert.
The have been saving for 10 weeks.
Given:
Duane = $5 every other week. meaning every 2 weeks
Mick = $2 every week
Amount Saved = $45
First, divide Duane's $5 by 2 to get his weekly contribution.
$5/2 = $2.50
let x be the number of weeks.
Duane + Mick = $45
2.50x + 2x = 45
4.50x = 45
4.50x/4.50 = 45/4.50
x = 10 weeks
to check:
2.50x + 2x = 45
2.50(10) + 2(10) = 45
25 + 20 = 45
45 = 45
