Answer: 5.76 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance between Victoria and Georgetown on the map be represented by x.

The information given in the question can then be formed into an expression which will be:

0.9/x = 10.5/67.2

Cross multiply

(10.5 × x) = 67.2 × 0.9

10.5x = 60.48

x = 60.48/10.5

x = 5.76

The answer is 5.76 miles

Working together, Candice and Ximena painted a fence in 8 hours. Last year, Ximena painted the fence by herself. The year before
makkiz [27]

Answer: Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone .

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = x-12

As per given , we have

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x-12}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x-12+x}{x(x-12)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8(2x-12)=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 16x-96=x^2-12x\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-16x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-28x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-4x-24x+96=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x(x-4)-24(x-4)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x-4)(x-24)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=4, 24

if x= 4

Time taken by Ximena = 4 hours

Time taken by Candice = 4-12 hours =-8 hours which is not possible. (time cannot be negative)

Therefore, x= 24

Such that

Time taken by Ximena to paint the fence alone  = 24 hours

Time taken by Candice to paint the fence alone = 24-12=12 hours
