Im sorry Im not that good at geometry.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
<em>Student A</em>
d = 3/4 mile
t = 6 minutes
<em>Student B</em>
d = 1/2 mile
t = 5 minutes
Note
In both cases, the units are the same, so unit conversion is not necessary.
Solution
<em>Student A</em>
r = d / t
r is the rate of travel in miles / minute
r = 3/4 / 6
r = 3.4 // 6/1 The 1 is put below the 6 so it is easier to divide. Invert the bottom and multiply.
r = 3/4 * 1/6
r = 3/24
r = 1/8 miles / minute
<em>Student B</em>
r = d / t
r = 1/2 // 5 / 1 Turn the bottom fraction upside down and multiply
r = 1/2 * 1/5
r = 1/10
Question
which is bigger: 1/8 or 1/10?
1/8 = 0.125
1/10 = 0.1
1/8 is bigger by 0.025
Answer
Student A is faster by 0.025 miles / minute.
We have that
<span>x - y = 4-------> multiply by -1-----> -x+y=-4-----> equation 1
x+ 2y = 4------> equation 2
add equation 1 and equation 2
-x+y=-4
x+2y=4
-----------------
0+3y=0-----> y=0
x+2y=4------> x+0=4------>x=4
the solution is the point (4,0)</span>
