<h3>Answer:    Malcom can run the furthest.</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

Race 1

Let's convert Malcom's distance to inches so we can compare his distance to his sister's.

1 yard = 3 feet

10 yards = 30 feet (multiply both sides by 10)

1 foot = 12 inches

30 feet = 360 inches (multiply both sides by 30)

In Malcom's first race, he ran 360 inches. He has run the furthest compared to his sister who ran 300 inches.

------------------------

Race 2

Convert Malcom's distance from feet to inches.

1 foot = 12 inches

18 feet = 216 inches (multiply both sides by 18)

Malcom runs 216 inches compared to his sister's distance of 180 inches. Malcom is the winner again.

------------------------

Race 3

120 inches = 120/12 = 10 feet

Divide by 12 to convert from inches to feet, or you could have these steps

12 inches = 1 ft

120 inches = 10 feet

after multiplying both sides by 10.

Malcom runs 10 feet compared to 5 feet which his sister runs.

In each race, Malcom has ran the furthest.

An actor invests some money at 9​% simple​ interest, and ​$24,000 more than three times the amount at 10​% simple interest. The
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The amount invested at 9% is $93000

The amount invested at 10% is $303000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount invested at 9% interest rate be x

And the amount invested at 10% rate be y

Simple Interest from x in a year = 0.09x

Simple Interest from y in a year = 0.1y

But y = 24000 + 3x

And the sun of the interests, 0.09x + 0.1y = 38670

Now we have a simultaneous eqn

y = 24000 + 3x (eqn 1)

0.09x + 0.1y = 38670 (eqn)

Substitute y into eqn 2

0.09x + 0.1(24000 + 3x) = 38670

0.09x + 2400 + 0.3x = 38670

0.39x = 38670 - 2400

x = 36270/0.39 = $93000

y = 24000 + 3x = 24000 + 3 × 93000 = $303000

The height of a triangle is 4 m less than its base. The area of the triangle is 48 m².What is the length of the base?
yaroslaw [1]

Triangle Area = .5 * base * height

48 = .5 * (x +4) * x

48 = (.5x + 2) * x

48 = .5x^2 + 2x

.5x^2 + 2x -48 = 0

x = 8

base = 12

A store owner wants to develop a new snack mix by mixing chocolate and trail mix. How many pounds of chocolate costing $13.20 pe
Stells [14]

Answer:

13lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of pounds of chocolate/lbs

13.20(x) + 3.90(10) = 9.16(x + 10)

13.2x + 39 = 9.16x + 91.6 (x100)

1320x + 3900 = 916x + 9160

404x = 5260

x = 1315/101 = 13.0198.... ⇒ 13lbs
