Answer:

7.83 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

At her constant pace, Nina's time for 6 km will be found by the proportion ...

(time for 6 km)/(6 km) = (time for 9 km)/(9 km)

time for 6 km = (6 km)/(9 km) × (75 min) = 50 min

Jo's time for the same distance will be 4 minutes less: 50 -4 = 46 min. Jo's speed is ...

speed = distance/time

= (6 km)/(46/60 h) = 360/46 h ≈ 7.83 km/h . . . . Jo's speed

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

From the 6 km point, the remaining race is half the distance already run, so will take half the time already taken. As we know, Nina will finish in 25 more minutes; Jo will finish in 46/2 = 23 more minutes, 2 minutes ahead of Nina.

The question is this: Rationalize the denominator and simplify.

Neko [114]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$\dfrac{20+5\sqrt{3}}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by the "conjugate" of the denominator.

$\dfrac{5}{4-\sqrt{3}}=\dfrac{5(4+\sqrt{3})}{(4-\sqrt{3})(4+\sqrt{3})}=\dfrac{20+5\sqrt{3}}{4^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}=\boxed{\dfrac{20+5\sqrt{3}}{13}}$

This is done in different scenarios in order to take advantage of the factoring of the difference of squares. Square root terms and imaginary terms in the denominator can be eliminated in this way.
