Problema Solution
Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.
How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.
The whole wall area including the window is 150 ft squared (15 ft x 10 ft). The window is 50 square feet (5 x 10). Take the whole area and subtract the window area and you have 100 sq ft thats paintable. One can is 50 sq ft so 100/50 is 2 cans of paint needed. Your answer is H.
Answer:
-2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-30 + (-15) + (-20) + 55 = -10. Then you divide it by how many numbers there are (4). Which equals - 2.5. If this is wrong, then round up to -3.
