Gertie 3/4 mile.
Sarah 2/4 mile.
Gertie ran farther by: 3/4 - 2/4 = (3 -2)/4 = 1/4
Gertie ran farther by 1/4 mile.
Answer:
nearest tenth= 5.4
Step-by-step explanation:
55 ÷ 10.1= 5.44554455446.
Answer:
14 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance traveled from home to destination = x miles.
Speed while going to friend's house = 35 miles per hour.
Speed while coming back = 40 miles per hour.
Total Time taken for the journey = 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.
Let the time taken while going to friend's house = y hours.
Therefore, the time taken while going to friend's house = (0.75 - y) hours.
To find x and y, model the speeds of both the journeys.
Speed while going to friend's house = Distance/Time.
35 = x/y.
x = 35y (Equation 1).
Speed while coming back = Distance/Time.
40 = x/(0.75 - y).
x = 40(0.75 - y) (Equation 2).
Since x = x, therefore:
35y = 30 - 40y.
75y = 30.
y = 30/75.
y = 0.4 hours.
Put y = 0.4 hours in Equation 1:
x = 35y.
x = 35(0.4).
x = 14.
Therefore, the distance between my friend's house and my house is 14 miles!!!
4x-20=2x-14
-2x. -2x
2x-20=14
+20 +20
2x= 34

2 2
X=17
Therefore x=17
