B. X,2X,3X cuz the sum of X and 2X is 3X
Answer:
5 rooms
Step-by-step explanation:
4 rooms = 9 hours
9 hours = 540 minutes
1 room = 540 ÷ 4 = 135 minutes
60 x 12 = 720 minutes (12 hours)
720 ÷ 135 = 5.33333
5.3333 estimated to nearest whole number = 5
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is the time rate of change of velocity, it is the ratio of distance to time.
Mr. Fowles runs at a steady 4.2 miles per hour. The time taken to cover 26 miles is:
speed = distance / time
time = distance / speed = 26 / 4.2 = 6.19 hour
I run at 3 miles per hour. I was given 3 mile lead, so the remaining distance is 23 miles (26 - 3). The time needed to complete the 23 miles is:
time = distance / speed = 23 / 3 = 7.67 hour
a) Let d be the distance Mr Fowles catches me. Hence:
time = (d + 3)/4.2; also time = d/3
(d + 3)/4.2 = d/3
3d + 9 = 4.2d
1.2d = 9
d = 7.5 miles
He would catch me at 10.5 (7.5 + 3) miles from the starting point.
b) Mr. fowles finishes after 6.19 hour. At that time, the distance is have covered is:
distance = 6.19 * 3 mi/hr = 18.57 mile
Distance behind = 23 mile - 18.57 = 4.43 mile
c) time longer = 7.67 hour - 6.19 hour = 1.48 hour
