Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.
His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8
Distance = speed × time
Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x
He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =
x + 2.8
Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then
2x = x + 2.8
2x - x = 2.8
x = 2.8
Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is
2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles
4x is the proportionality
Answer:
The answer is 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Have a nice day
(3/8) / 1 = (3/4) / x.....3/8 oatmeal to 1 batch = 3/4 oatmeal to x batches
cross multiply
(3/8)(x) = (3/4)(1)
3/8x = 3/4
x = (3/4) / (3/8)
x = 3/4 * 8/3
x = 24/12
x = 2 <==== 2 batches were made
