Answer:

The distance to the market is 2000 m

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ John runs to the market and comes back in 15 minutes

→ Change the min. to the sec. because the unit of his speed is m/s

∵ 1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 15 minutes = 15 × 60 = 900 seconds

→ Assume that t1 is his time to the market and t2 is his time from

  the market

∵  t1 + t2 = 15 minutes

∴ t1 + t2 = 900 ⇒ (1)

→ Assume that the distance to the market is d

∵ His speed on the way to the market is 5m/s

∵ Time = Distance ÷ Speed

∴ t1 = d ÷ 5 ⇒ (1 ÷ 5 = 0.2)

∴ t1 = 0.2d ⇒ (2)

∵ His speed on the way back is 4m/s

∴ t2 = d ÷ 4 ⇒ (1 ÷ 4 = 0.25)

∴ t2 = 0.25d ⇒ (3)

→ Substitute (2) and (3) in (1)

∵ 0.2d + 0.25d = 900

∴ 0.45d = 900

→ Divide both sides by 0.45

∴ d = 2000 m

∴ The distance to the market = 2000 m

Solve for x: 6x + 1 over 4 (4x + 8) > 12
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A. x>\frac{10}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality 6x+\frac{1}{4}(4x+8)>12. We are asked to solve the given inequality for x.

Using distributive property, we will get:

6x+\frac{1}{4}*4x+\frac{1}{4}*8>12

6x+x+2>12

7x+2>12

Subtract 2 from both sides:

7x+2-2>12-2

7x>10

Divide both sides by 7:

\frac{7x}{7}>\frac{10}{7}

x>\frac{10}{7}

Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
