A man walking his dog along a Straight road spots a friend a mile away. They wave at one another and the dog sprints to greet he

r. As soon as the dog arrives it turns around and runs straight back to its master. Then turns around again and runs back to the girl, who is, of course, nearer now. The dog continues running backs and forth until the two meet. Given that each person walks at a steady 3 mph, and the dog runs a steady 9 mph, what is the total distance the dog runs?

The distance the dog runs is given by the time it takes the man and the

girl to meet multiplied by the speed of the dog.

Correct response:

  • The total distance the dog runs is <u>1.5 miles</u>

<h3>How to find the distance ran by the dog</h3>

Given parameters;

Initial distance of the friend away = 1 mile

Speed of the man = 3 mph

Speed of the girl = 3 mph

Speed of the dug = 9 mph

Required:

The total distance the dog runs

Solution:

Time = \mathbf{\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}}

The time it takes the man and the girl to meet, <em>t</em>, is given as follows;

t = \dfrac{1 \ mile}{3 \ mph + 3 \ mph}  = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{6} \, hours}

Therefore;

  • The \ total \ distance \ dog \ runs, \ d = 9 \ mph \times \dfrac{1}{6} \, hours = \underline{ 1.5 \, miles}

A painter earns $15 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? Write an inequality to rep
IRISSAK [1]

So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked

We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200

so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):

15h =< 200

(divide both sides by 15)

h =< 13 1/3

So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.

Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between
Romashka [77]

For this case we have that by definition, a direct variation is given by:

y = kx

Where:

k: It is the constant of proportionality of the variables.

On the other hand, we have that the inverse variation is given by:

y = \frac {k} {x}

Where:

k: It is the constant of proportionality of the variables.

In this way, the correct option is: y = \frac {9} {x}
