Answer:

32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the total distance be x miles

Marks speed= 16miles per hour

Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour

Trisha has covered 8 miles and has  (x-8) miles to finish line

We know that

Speed= distance/time

time= distance/speed

Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is

time= x/16---------------1

The time taken for Trisha to finish is

time= (x-8)/12-----------2

equate 1 and 2 above

x/16= (x-8)/12

cross multiply

16(x-8)= 12*x

16x-128= 12x

collect like terms

16x-12x= 128

4x=128

x= 128/4

x= 32 miles

Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way

Georgina ran 3/8 mile in 3 minutes. How many miles does she run per minute?
Pachacha [2.7K]
In the given question we can see that the information,Georgina ran a distance of 3/8 mile in 3 minutes is already provided.
So
In 3 minutes Georgina can run a distance of = 3/8 miles
Then In 1 minute Georgina can run a distance of = 3/(8 * 3) miles
                                                                               = 3/24 miles
                                                                               = 1/8 miles.
So it can be said now that in 1 minute the distance that Georgina can cover is 1/8 miles. If required it can be converted to decimal value as well.

how many gallons will it take to mow a lawn if you maintain the rate of 1/2 gallon of gasoline per 1/4 mowed
Musya8 [376]
Recall that one whole is 1, or in this case since the denominator is 4, then 4/4 is 1 whole, so the whole lawn is 4/4.

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
gallons&mowed\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{4}\\\\
g&\frac{4}{4}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{g}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{4}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{g}{1}}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{4}{4}}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{g}=\cfrac{1}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{2g}=\cfrac{1}{4}\implies 4=2g\implies \cfrac{4}{2}=g\implies 2=g
