The time, t, it takes a runner to cover a specified distance is inversely proportional to the runner's speed. If Jann Avery runs

at an average of 6 miles per hour, she
will finish a race in 2. 1 hours. How long will it take Jackie Donofrio, who runs at 4 miles per hour to finish the same race?

To solve this problem you will need this tool, it is the formula of speed :

<em>speed = distance/time</em>

(I suggest you to remember this one for life, it is a really useful one)

Let's check how long that Jackie nice dude will take to finish the race...

Jann avery runs at an average of 6 mph (miles per hour), so we already got the speed for our formula. And she will finish the race in 2.1 hours so we got the time. What do we miss ? The distance.

Let's write what we already know to solve this puzzle :

6 = d / 2.1

Where d is that unknown distance..  So we are in front of an equation here let's solve it :

d / 2.1 = 6

d = 6 * 2.1

d = 12.6 miles

Now that we know that distance, for the race, we can see if that poor Jackie Donofrio has all his chances to catch Jann Avery...

We already know his speed... and since we have the distance, we write :

4 = 12.6 / t

Where t is the unknown time, for Jackie, to finish the same race. Let's solve the equation :

4t = 12.6 (we multiplied t on each side of the equation)

t = 12.6 / 4

t = 3.15

Jackie Donofrio, who runs at 4 miles per hour, will finish the race in 3.15 hours

Good Luck

Organisms A and B start out with the same population size. Organism A's population doubles every day. After 5 days, the populati
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of organism A doubles every day, geometrically as follows

a, a·r, a·r²

Where;

r = 2

The population after 5 days, is therefore;

Pₐ₅ = = 32·a

The virus cuts the population in half for three days as follows;

The first of ta·2⁵ he three days = 32/2 = 16·a

The second of the three days = 16/2 = 8·a

After the third day, Pₐ = 8/2 = 8·a

The population growth of organism B is the same as the initial growth of organism A, therefore, the population, P₈ of organism B after 8 days is given as follows;

P₈ =  a·2⁸ = 256·a

Therefore, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is P₈/Pₐ = 256·a/8·a = 32 times

Which gives, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times.

Select all ratios equivalent to 15:5.<br> 9:3<br> 6:2<br> 3:1
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

All three.

Step-by-step explanation:

All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:

Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3,  so these ratios are equivalent.

Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.

Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.

Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!
