Answer:
The answer is 21 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the equation Xf = Xo + vt
1) At 1:00 PM, child one leaves the starting point heading north at a constant velocity of 6 mi/hr or .1 [mi/min] (divide by 60 to convert from [mi/hr] to [mi/min])
2) He walks for 15 minutes before kid 2 starts walking. In 15 minutes he is able to cover 1.5 [mi]
3) Now, child 2 starts walking and we know that when the range reaches 3 miles, they won´t be able to communicate. So the sum of the final position of child 1 and child 2 must be 3[mi]
- Child 1 final position =>

- Child 2 final position =>

4) Sum the equations and equate to 3
5) Substitute the values we already know
6) in 15 + 6 minutes they will be 3miles apart
7) In 21 minutes they will still be able to communicate with one another.

The answer is B. She sells each orange for $0.50 and the question is asking for the total amount of money she will make by selling a certain amount of oranges. t represents the total so the equation will to equal to t. c is the number of oranges she will sell so c multiplied by $0.50 will give the total amount of money she will make.
Subtract 5 from both sides
a/-8 = 4/7 - 5
simplify 4/7 - 5 to 31/-7
a/-8 = 31/-7
multiply both sides by 8
-a = 31/-7 x 8
simplify 31/7 x 8 to 248/7
-a = 248/7
multiply both sides by -1.
The answer is a = 248/7
