Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Blue Car:</em></u>  (31 1/2 miles)/(1 1/4 gallons)

(63/2) miles / (5/4) gallons

(63/2)*(4/5) = <u>25.2 miles/gallon.</u>

<u><em>Red Car:</em></u>  (27 1/5 miles)/(4/5 gallon)

= <u>34 miles/gallon.</u>

The Red Car will travel the furthest.

horsena [70]
The distance between the Earth's surface and the upper edge of the Earth's atmosphere would be Q - V.

The distance from the Sun to the Earth is Q. The distance from the Sun to the upper edge of the atmosphere is V. If you subtract V from Q, the remaining distance is that of the Earth's atmosphere.  Q - V = the atmosphere

The Turtle and Achilles compete. They start at the same time from the same place. Achilles runs at a speed of 13 mph while the T
spayn [35]

Answer:

The competition took 12.5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken by Achilles to complete the competition is h hours.

Now, Achilles runs at a speed of 13 mph while the Turtle moves at a speed of 1 mph.

So, the competition was 13h miles long.

Now, Turtle will take h hours to complete h miles of the competition.

Now, given that (13h - h) = 2.5

⇒ 12h = 2.5

⇒ h = 0.208 hours.

⇒ h = 12.5 minutes.

Therefore, the competition took 12.5 minutes. (Answer)

multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

2x+3y=9

move variable to the right side and change its sign

2x=9-3y

divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=9/2-3/2y
