The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph

<h3>Speed</h3>

Speed is the ratio of total distance to total time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let a represent the speed of the first runner and b for the second runner. Hence:

a = (4/5)b

After 30 minutes (0.5 hour), the runners are 2 miles apart, hence:

a = d₁ / 0.5

d₁ = 0.5a

Also:

b = d₂/0.5

d₂ = 0.5b

d₁ + d₂ = 2, hence:

0.5a + 0.5b = 2

0.5(4/5)b + 0.5b = 2

b = 2.22 mph

a = (4/5) * 2.22 = 1.78 mph

The speed of the first runner is 1.78 mph while for the second runner is 2.22 mph

Is the following relation a function?
Len [333]

Answer:

<h2>No</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation between sets that associates to every element of a first set exactly one element of the second set.

Each element from the first set is assigned exactly one element from the second set.

It's not a function, because for 0 are assigned two elements 1 and 3.

Seven hundred new chairs were delivered to a school. If each class
Natalija [7]

Answer:

24 chairs in each class needed

25 classrooms

700 chairs total

how many extra chairs

chairs will be c

t is total

t= 25×c

opposite of multiplication is division( 25 is multiplying by c) c needs to be alone

25 classrooms times chairs equal total chairs

t is 700

700=25×c

700/25=25/25c

700/25=C

c is 28

so 28 chairs for 25 classrooms

they need 24 chairs per class

so there are 4 extra chairs per class

4×25 is 100

**or just multiply 25 classes and 24 chairs

25 times 24 is 600

there are 700 chairs

100 left over

so 100 extra chairs
