Answer:

  • 3.08 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Total distance = 10 miles
  • Total time = 2 hours
  • Distance walked = x
  • Speed walked = 2 mph
  • Distance cycled = 10 - x
  • Speed cycled = 15 mph

<u>Using the given data we can have the equation below to the time:</u>

  • x/2 + (10 - x)/15 = 2
  • 30x/2 + 30(10 - x)/15 = 30(2)
  • 15x + 20 - 2x = 60
  • 13x = 60 - 20
  • 13x = 40
  • x = 40/13
  • x = 3.08 miles <em>rounded to 2 decimal places</em>

A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G. What are the coordinates
I am Lyosha [343]

Given:

A directed line segment begins at F(-8, -2), ends at H(8, 6), and is divided in the ratio 8 to 2 by G.

To find:

The coordinates of point G.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divide a line segment with end points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are

Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)

Point G divide the line segment FH in 8:2. Using section formula, we get

G=\left(\dfrac{8(8)+2(-8)}{8+2},\dfrac{8(6)+2(-2)}{8+2}\right)

G=\left(\dfrac{64-16}{10},\dfrac{48-4}{10}\right)

G=\left(\dfrac{48}{10},\dfrac{44}{10}\right)

G=\left(4.8,4.4\right)

Therefore, the coordinates of point G are (4.8, 4.4).
