Choice-'B' is the correct choice . . . 2E9A .
I began converting the original numbers to decimal (base 10),
but decided that 5 points are not worth that much aggravation.
At that point, I wondered whether I could just write it down and
do it like any old other subtraction exercise. I've never done
that before with hex numbers, but I found that I could !
The only place you have to be extra careful is in the third place,
where you have to subtract '9' from '2'. In order to do that, you
have to borrow one from the 'F'. That makes the 'F' an 'E', and
it makes the '2' an '18', from which you can then easily subtract
the '9'. The difference of '2E9A' then jumps right out.
Thank you. I never knew you could just do that.
T = k/R where k is the constant of variation, T=time and R=speed.
Plug in the given values:-
12 = k/60
k = 12*60 = 720
So the equation of variation is T = 720/R
At 85 mph we have
T = 720 / 85 = 8.47 hours (answer)
One Way:
We can change the mixed number to a decimal for comparing.

m =

m = 1.25 m
1.4 m > 1.25 m
Darren > Luke
Darren's jump was higher by (1.4-1.25)
0.15 m
Or another way change the decimal to a fraction and the mixed to an improper fraction too.

=

(Luke)
1.4 =

(Darren)
We need a common denominator to compare

(Luke)

(Darren)

(Luke)

(Darren)

Darren > Luke
By:

-

=

Which is also by
0.15 m
Darren jumps higher and by 0.15 m
I think c and d (I might be wrong)
Thank you for positing your question here. Possible answer to the problem is that the10 ones is equal to 1 ten, the ungrouped number 4,000 + 900 + 10 which is total of 5,000. I hope my explanation helps.
