Step-by-step explanation:
You move it 5 over, so it is 3.844x10^5
-6 you subtract and keep the sign of the greater number
0.88x distributive property and isolate the variables
The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph
<h3>
Speed</h3>
Speed is the ratio of total distance to total time taken. It is given by:
Speed = distance / time
Let a represent the speed of the first runner and b for the second runner. Hence:
a = (4/5)b
After 30 minutes (0.5 hour), the runners are 2 miles apart, hence:
a = d₁ / 0.5
d₁ = 0.5a
Also:
b = d₂/0.5
d₂ = 0.5b
d₁ + d₂ = 2, hence:
0.5a + 0.5b = 2
0.5(4/5)b + 0.5b = 2
b = 2.22 mph
a = (4/5) * 2.22 = 1.78 mph
The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph
