Answer:

160 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I begin, note that distance = rate * time (or d = r * t)

To solve this problem, we need to find what point these two people have the same distance. (so Janiyah covers the same distance as Connor)

So, let's set the time that Janiyah takes as x (in seconds). So, he covers

d = r * t, or 8x meters

Then, Connor's equation would be

d = r * t

d = 5x + 60 (because he got a 60 meter headstart)

Because d is the same in both equations, to solve for the amount of time they run:

8x = 5x + 60

Subtract 5x from both sides.

3x = 60

x = 20

Then, to find Janiyah's distance (you can also use Connors because the two distances are equal), put x = 20 into 8x

8x = 8 * 20 = 160

So, Janiyah ran 160 meters.

Just in case, let's check if this is correct. Connor's distance equals Janiyah's, so

5x + 60 = 160

5 * 20 + 60 = 160

100 + 60 = 160

160 = 160

True.

So, the answers are correct.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

Jack wants to share his candy with friends. Right now he has 4 1/3 pieces of chocolate. How many friends can he give 1/2 a candy
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

8 Friends

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 4 1/3 to a mixed fraction

4 1/3 --> 13/3

Then divide by 1/2 to find how many friends per 1/2 candy bar with 13/3 candy bars

(13/3)/(1/2)

=(13*2)/(3*1)

=26/3

8.66667

Since you can't have 0.66667 of a person you get 8 friends to give candy to

Mariana [72]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Raising both sides to the fifth power, we get:

27(x - 2) = 3⁵

x - 2 = 3⁵ / 27

x - 2 = 3⁵ / 3³

x - 2 = 3⁽⁵⁻³⁾ = 3² = 9

x = 11
