Answer:  1:30 PM

It takes 30 minutes

==========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of hours traveled

We'll use the equation

distance = rate*time

You bike at a rate of 12 mph and do so for x hours. That means you travel 12x miles based on the equation above. Your friend travels 4x miles for similar reasoning. Overall, the two of you travel a combined distance of 12x+4x = 16x miles. This combined distance is set equal to the 8 miles (distance between your houses) and you solve for x.

16x = 8

x = 8/16

x = 1/2

x = 0.5

Recall x is the number of hours, so that means it takes 1/2 an hour for the two of you to meet. This is equivalent to 30 minutes since 1/2*60 = 30.

If all of this starts at 1 PM, then you'll meet up at 1:30 PM since we add on 30 minutes to 1 PM to get to this moment in time.

------------------

Extra info:

You travel 12x = 12*0.5 = 6 miles

Your friend travels 4x = 4*0.5 = 2 miles

Total distance = you+friend = 6+2 = 8 miles

This helps confirm the answer.

Morgarella [4.7K]
Since there are a total of 48 beads and each bead will either be blue or yellow, in order to find out how many of each colour bead she will use, do the following:

Divide 48 by 3 to get 16 yellow beads.

Now that you know how many yellow beads there are, just subtract that from 48:
48 - 16 = 32

Therefore, she will use 16 yellow beads and 32 blue beads.

Geometry:Finish the coordinate rule to describe the transformation in the image.
stira [4]

It looks like a reflection over the y-axis. There's a formula you can use when doing reflections over the y-axis, (x,y) is going to become (-x, y) thats also the coordinate rule I think.

If you apply that rule to each point you should get the reflected image.

G- (1, 3) then (-x,y) to get (-1,3)

E- (1, 2) then (-x,y) to get (-1, 2)

V- (5, 1) then (-x,y) to get (-5, 1)

X- (3, 3) then (-x,y) to get (-3, 3)
