You didn't include the table but I found this table for the same statement, so I will answer you based on the next table:
Runner distance time
Arabella 7,299 feet 561 seconds
Bettina 3,425 yards 13 minutes, 12 seconds
Chandra 8,214 feet 0,195 hours
Divya 1,62 miles 732 seconds
To answer the question you must find the rate for each runner and then calculate the time to run 3.1 miles at each rate.
First you need to convert the data to obtain the rate in miles per second.
These are the main conversion identities:
1 mile = 5280 feet
1 mile = 1760 yards
1 hour = 3600 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
Arabella:
rate: 7,229 feet / 561 seconds * (1 mile / 5280 feet) =
= 0.00244 mile/second
Time to run 3.1 miles: V = d / t => t = d / V = 3.1 miles / 0.00244 mile/second = 1270 seconds
Bettina:
13 minutes + 12 seconds = 13*60 seconds +12 seconds = 792 seconds
rate = 3425 yards / 792 seconds * 1 mile / 1760 yards = 0.00246 mile/seconds
Time to run 3.1 miles = 3.1 miles / 0.00246 mile/second = 1260 seconds
Chandra:
rate = 8214 feet / 0.195 hours * 1 mile / 5280 feet * 1hour / 3600 seconds =
= 0.00222 seconds
Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00222 seconds = 0.389 hour = 1396 seconds
Divya:
rate = 1.62 miles / 732 seconds = 0.00221 seconds
Time = 3.1 mile / 0.00221 seconds = 1403 seconds
Now you can find the difference between fhe last and the first 1403 seconds - 1260 seconds = 143 seconds
That is equivalent to 2.38 seconds.
The fraction 44/12 is equivalent1 to 3 2/3.
This fraction is a IMPROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (44) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (12). So, the equivalent fraction is a MIXED NUMBER which is made up of a whole number (3) and proper fraction (2/3).
The fraction 44/12 is equal to 44÷12 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 3.666667.
12/100x10000 = 1200
17/100x8000= 1360
1360+1200 = 2560
18000 - 2560 = $15,440 (final cost)
Because M is the midpoint of AB, then AM and MB are equal distances. And because a segment can be written as the sum of its pieces, AM + MB = AB.
So,
AM + MB = AB <--- distance of a segment is the sum of its pieces
AM + AM = AB <--- M is the midpoint, so AM = MB
3x + 3 + 3x + 3 = 8x - 6 <--- substituting known amounts that were given
6x + 6 = 8x - 6 <--- collect like terms on the left side
6x = 8x - 12 <--- subtract 6 on both sides
-2x = -12 <--- subtract 8x on both sides
x = 6 <--- divide both sides by -2
Because x = 6, we put it back into AM. 3(6) + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21
Thus, AM is 21 units.
