<span>Let x = the miles Jeanie ran y = the miles Jeanie biked T = 2 hours total time for the duathlon v1 = 8.5 mph Jeanie's running speed and v2 = 16 mph Jeanie's biking speed But T = Jean's time she ran t1 + time she biked t2 I. e t1 + t2 = 2 So we have average speed v2 when she biked = distance (y) / time (t2) Distance y = v2 * t2 = 16 * t2 and distance when she ran x = 8.5 * t1 Since she covered 27 miles while running and biking we have x + y = 27 8.5t1 + 16t2 =27 ------(1) t1 + t2 = 2 --------------(2) The simultaneous equation gives us t1 = 2/3 and t2 which is time she biked = 4/3 So 4/3 = 1 1/3. Which is 1 hour 20 minutes</span>

How many weeks of flea treatment would Jim’s dog get from one package if each treatment only lasted 3 weeks In a normal year whe
4vir4ik [10]

Solution

Number of weeks in a year = 52 weeks

If in a normal year when each package of flea treatment lasts for 4 weeks, then in a year there Jim's dog will have to be treated for

\frac{52}{4} =13 times

Where as, when the fleas are bad in a year, the treatment lasts for only 3 weeks.

Then in a year Jim's dog would get

\frac{52}{3} =17 times


So Jim's dog will get 17- 13 =4 treatments more.

4 treatments that are made in 3 weeks each will be 4×3 =12 weeks more treatment

Marking the price up by 60% means taking 160% of the cost:
160% = 160/100 = 1.6; 1.6(147) = 235.20

Find the probability of rolling divisors of 12
AVprozaik [17]
If you're talking about dice than there are six sides of a die, right? 5 of those 6 numbers are divisors of 12. 1,2,3,4, and 6. 5/6 is 0.833... which is 83% of 6. So the probability of rolling divisors of 12 is 83%.
