Answer:

Each girl would have ran a total of 21 miles and boys would have ran a total of 20 miles by the end of the fourth day before the couch order new javelins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls track team

First day of practice=3 miles

Days afterwards= 6 miles

Boys track team

Everyday= 5 miles

coach will order new javelins at the end of the day that each girl's total mileage surpasses each boy's.

First day

Each girl total mileage= 3 miles

Each boy total mileage= 5 miles

Second day

Each girl total mileage= 3miles+6miles=9 miles

Each boy total mileage=5 miles+5 miles= 10 miles

Third day

Each girl total mileage= 3+6+6=15 miles

Each boy total mileage=5+5+5=15 miles

Fourth day

Each girl today mileage= 3+6+6+6=21 miles

Each boy total mileage=5+5+5+5= 20 miles

Difference=girls-boys

=21-20= 1 mile

The fourth day is the day each girl's total mileage(21 miles) surpasses each boy's total mileage(20 miles) with a total of 1 mile

Liner equation Melissa and Jane are planting trees Melissa plants 10 tree in 1 hour Jane plants 17 trees in 2 hours enter an equ
levacccp [35]

Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is calculate the speed of each one,

Melissa in one hour plants 10 trees, that is 10/1 is her speed.

Jane in two hours plants 17 trees, that is 17/2 is her speed.

Now, we want to know the time it takes to plant 11 trees, so the sum of the previous speeds is equal to 111 / x

10/1 + 17/2 = 111 / x

18.5 = 111 / x

x = 111 / 18.5

x = 6

Which means that in 6 hours between the two they can plant 111 trees

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4/3 ÷ 2 = 2/3.

2/3 water waters 1/5 plants in the house.

2/3 x 5 = 10/3.

1/5 x 5 = 1.

10/3 = 3 1/3.

3 1/3 liters of water are needed to water all the plants in the house.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the original price of the game, write a proportion. $1.54 is the amount after a 5.5% tax rate. This means he paid 105.5% on the original price.

\frac{1.54}{y}=\frac{105.5}{100}

Find y by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.

1.54(100) = 105.5y

154 = 105.5y

1.46 = y

sukhopar [10]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Demi os working on a representation about a famous mathematician for her math class. She decides to make her poster in the shape of a plus sign. What is the total area of Demi's poster? The image and the measurements of the poster are in the attachment.

Answer: Total area = 1360 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: From the attachment, the poster is formed by two rectangles one over the other and a central part, which is a square. So, the total area is the area of the 2 rectangles minus the area of the square

A = Ar - As

As these forms are regular, the area of both is A = width * length

Area of the 2 rectangle:

width = 20 in

length = 12+20+12 = 44 in

There are 2, then:

Ar = 2.20.44

Ar = 1760

Area of the square:

width = length = 20

As = 20²

As = 400

Total Area:

At = Ar - As

At = 1760 - 400

At = 1360

The total area of the poster is <em><u>1360 square inches</u></em>.
