Answer:

Sam's time was 1 hour and 6.66 minutes (or 1 and 1/9 hours)

Liam's time was was 1 hour

So in conclusion, Liam was faster

Step-by-step explanation:

We got Sam's time by 1/1 because Sam was walking 1 mph and the length to reach the top of the hill is 1 mile. So it would take Sam 1 hour to walk 1 mile. Walking down the hill Sam's speed was 9 mph. So the equation would be 1/9. So you would get 1/9. 1/9 of 60 is 6.66 repeating.

For Liam it is pretty simple. Since he is going up the hill at 2 mph and the length of the bottom of the hill to the top is 1 mile, it would be 30 minutes. Repeat this for the top to the bottom and in total it would be 1 hour.

Hope this helps

Lemur [1.5K]
Answer: 5 weeks

Explanation:
Jess starts with $22 and saves $5 per week, Rosie has $10 and saves $8 per week.

In order to find an equal amount of money between the two girls is by finding a common denominator.

Jess- 22, 27, 32, 37, 42
Rosie- 10, 18, 26, 34, 42

Since we found that they can both end up with $42, after a certain amount of weeks have passed, now you’ll want to count how many numbers are in each row to find the amount of weeks it took to get to an equal amount
