Answer:
10 blocks
Step-by-step explanation
check the image attached, the y coordinate of his school and house are the same that is, -2 so all we have to do is check the distance between x coordinates
that is , -7 and 3
distance between school and his house = 3 - (-7) = 10 blocks
<h3>
Answer: 123 meters is the longest </h3>
============================
Work Shown:
Convert everything to the same unit. I'm going to convert everything to meters
0.1203 km = 120.3 meters (multiply by 1000)
1230 cm = 12.3 meters (divide by 100)
12030 mm = 12.03 meters (divide by 1000)
------------------
The four distances we have are: 120.3 meters, 123 meters, 12.3 meters, 12.03 meters. We see that 123 meters is the longest.
Let x be the rate of the slower bicyclist and
x + 4 be the rate of the faster bicyclist
Since the bicyclists are headed towards opposite directions, the sum of the distances they covered traveling for one hour and 15 minutes should be equal to 40 km based on the given conditions above. This may be expressed as,
(x)(1.25) + (x + 4)(1.25) = 40
Calculating gives x = 14
Thus, the rate of the bicyclists are 14 km/h and 18 km/h.
