Answer:

In mathematics, the magnitude or size of a mathematical object is a property which determines whether the object is larger or smaller than other objects of the same kind. More formally, an object's magnitude is the displayed result of an ordering ( or ranking ) - of the class of objects to which it belongs.

Jean runs 8 mi and then rides 11 mi on her bicycle on a biathlon. She rides 9 mph faster than she runs. If the total time for he

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Let Jean's speed while running = x mph

Then Jean's speed while riding will be = x+9 mph

Distance covered by running = 8 miles

Distance covered by riding = 11 miles

Total time taken to complete the race = 1.5 hours

As, $time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

So, time for running= $\frac{8}{x}$

And time for riding= $\frac{11}{x+9}$

Equation becomes:

$\frac{8}{x}+\frac{11}{x+9}=1.5$

Now, multiply every term by 2x(x+9) to clear denominators:

$16(x+9)+22x=3x(x+9)$

Simplifying it we get

$3x^{2}-11x-144=0$

Solve the quadratic equation using formula

$x= \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac }}{2a}$

putting a=3 , b= -11, c= -144

we get (x - 9)(3x + 16) = 0

where x=9 and x= $\frac{-16}{3}$

Neglect the negative answer as speed cannot be negative, so x = 9 mph

Hence, Jean's running speed is 9 mph and riding speed is x+9 = 9+9 = 18 mph

Hello there, <br><br> can someone please help me with this question

Answer:

10 sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two same interior angles + 72 degrees = 360.

Thus, the interior angle of the polygon is $\frac{360-72}{2} =144$ .

The formula to find the interior angle of a polygon is $\frac{180(n-2)}{n}$

$\frac{180(n-2)}{n} =144$

Multiply both sides by n:

$\frac{180\left(n-2\right)}{n}n=144n$

$180\left(n-2\right)=144n$

Expand:

$180n-360=144n$

Add 360 to both sides:

$180n-360+360=144n+360$

$180n=144n+360$

Subtract 144n from both sides:

$180n-144n=144n+360-144n$

$36n=360$

Divide both sides by 36:

$\frac{36n}{36}=\frac{360}{36}$

$n=10$

1 meter = 100 centimeters
2.5 meters = 250 cm
If you use 50 cm, then you have
2 meters or 200 cm left
