The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.

The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.

The speed ratio is ...

... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1

so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...

... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.

Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.

Stu hiked a trail at an average rate of 3 miles per hour. He ran back on the same trail at an average rate of 5 miles per hour.
Andrews [41]
3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

Answer:

It is m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1990, each year has (100-3) = 97% ( or 0.97) of visitors that it had the previous year.

So m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x   (answer).

Igoryamba

Answer:

77.76 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The average distance of Neptune  from the sun

= 4.503  ×  10 ⁹  k m .

and Mercury  =  5.791  ×  10 ⁷ k m .

Hence neptune is (  4.503  ×  10 ⁹) ÷ (5.791 × 10 ⁷  ) times farther from the sun than mercury

i.e.(  \frac{4.503}{5.791} )  × 10⁹⁻⁷ times

=   0.7776  ×  10 ² times

=   77.76  times.
