Today joelle walked at a rate of 3 miles per hour and she ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour.How many total miles did

svetoff [14.1K]

I added a screenshot with the complete question

Answer:
Total miles = 2.5 miles

Explanation:
1- While walking:
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked $\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}$ of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:
Distance = 3 * $\frac{1}{3}$ = 1 mile

2- While running:
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran $\frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$ of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time
Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:
Distance = 6 * $\frac{1}{4}$ = 1.5 miles

3- getting the total mileage:
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles

Hope this helps :)

Describe the possible side lengths of the 3rd side of the triangle given the lengths of the 2 other sides?

Sindrei [870]

Heya !

Using a theoram about triangles ,

Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,

Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,

Let the third side be x ,

So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1

Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.

Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...

As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,

For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,

Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.

Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.

Hope it helps you ! :)

1) -24, -4, 16, 36, ... Find a23

viktelen [127]

We're given the Arithmetic Progression -24, -4, 16, 36 ... .

We know that a term in an AP is generally represented as:

$\bf a_n\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d$

where,

a = the first term in the sequence
n = the number of the term/number of terms
d = difference between two terms

We need to find $\sf a_2_3$ .

From the given progression, we have:

a = -24
n = 23
d = (-24 - (-4) = -20

Using these in the formula,

$\sf a_2_3\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ (23\ -\ 1)\ \times\ (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ 22\ \times (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ -\ 440\\\\\\\bf a_2_3\ =\ -464$

Therefore, the 23rd term in the AP is -464.

Hope it helps. :)

Shawn Fitzgerald finds a suitable property and agrees upon a selling price of $137,900. The mortgage company requires a 20% down

Phantasy [73]

Amount financed
137,900−137,900×0.20
=110,320
number of thousands
110,320÷1,000
=110.32
Multiply it by the monthly payment per thousands
110.32×7.34
=809.7488
Now multiply it by the number of months in a year
809.7488×12 months
=9,716.9856
Multiply it by the number of years
9,716.9856×30
=291,509.568
Now the total amount of interest charged
291,509.568−110,320
=181,189.568 round your answer
=181190...answer

Hope it helps
