We know that
speed=distance/time
solve for time
time=distance/speed
in this problem
<span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
</span><span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
Difference=7.2-6=1.2 miles/hour
so
speed=1.2 miles/hour
distance=0.3 miles
time=?
</span>time=distance/speed-----> 0.3/1.2-----> 0.25 hour-----> 0.25*60=15 minutes
<span>
the answer is
0.25 hour (15 minutes)
Alternative Method
Let
x---------> Fernando's distance when Marco is 0.3 miles apart
</span>Fernando funs at a rate of 7.2 miles per hour
<span>for distance =x
time=x/7.2------> equation 1
</span>Marco runs at a rate of 6 miles per hour.
for distance=x-0.30
time=(x-0.30)/6------> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
7.2*(x-0.3)=6x-----> 7.2x-2.16=6x
7.2x-6x=2.16------> x=2.16/1.2-------> x=1.8 miles
time=x/7.2-----1.8/7.2=0.25 hour
y = 7 + 3x
y = 3x + 7
y = mx + b, therefore the y-intercept is 7.
3y = 6x + 12
y = 2x + 4
y = mx + b, therefore the y-intercept is 4.
To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be
72.
Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.
40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.
Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
The slope intercept is equal to the rise/run.
So lets say to get from one point to the other, you go down 2 units and go right 3 units.
Since you went down it is a -2. If you had gone up 2 units, then it would be a positive 2.
Since you went to the right, it is a positive 3. If you had gone left 3 units, then it would be -3.
-2/3
