Let the length of the race be d miles.
Race time for Pat = d/10
Race time for Kim = d/9
If we subtract 8 minutes from the time for Kim, the result will equal the time for Pat:
\frac{d}{10}=\frac{d}{9}-\frac{8}{60}
This equation simplifies to:
\frac{d}{10}=\frac{5d-6}{45}
Cross-multiplying we get:
45d = 50d -60
60 = 5d
d = 12 miles

Answer:

D. 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, since he wants to save up the whole year, that would be 365 days. And, he wants to collect some money after then end of each <em>week</em>, and a week is 7 days, so you'd divide 365/7. This would give you about 52 weeks he'll set aside money for United Way. Therefore, you'd divide $260/52 weeks, to get a total of $5 each week.

Expressed as a percentage, how many more avocados does the city of
mash [69]

Answer:

In Phoenix they consume 60% more avocados than in Denver.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in Denver they consume 75 units of avocados, while in Phoenix they consume 120 units of said fruit, to determine the percentage difference between the consumption of both cities it is necessary to perform the following calculation:

75 = 100

120 = X

((120 x 100) / 75) = X

(12,000 / 75) = X

160 = X

160 - 100 = 60

Therefore, in Phoenix they consume 60% more avocados than in Denver.

Hello,

Diagonals of a rectangle must have the same measure.
You don't need to know the dimension of the diagonal but only if they are equals.

(√(90²+48²)=102 (yd))
