In a charity triathlon, Mark ran half the distance and swam a quarter of the distance. When he took a quick break to get a drink of Gatorade, he was just starting to bike the remaining 24 miles. What was the total distance of the race?

Answers

Answer 1
Ran 1/2 - 48 m
Swam 1/4 - 24m
Bike 1/4 - 24m

24x4= 80+16= 96

The race was 96 miles long
Answer 2

The total distance of the race is D = 96 miles

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Let's denote the total distance of the race as "d" miles.

According to the given information, Mark ran half the distance and swam a quarter of the distance. This can be expressed as:

Distance Mark ran = d/2 miles

Distance Mark swam = d/4 miles

After Mark's quick break, he was just starting to bike the remaining 24 miles. Since he has already completed running and swimming, the total distance he has covered at that point is:

And this distance is equal to 24 miles, as given in the problem:

d/2 + d/4 + 24 = d

On simplifying the equation , we get

( 3/4 )d + 24 = d

Subtracting ( 3/4 )d on both sides , we get

( 1/4 )d = 24

Multiply by 4 on both sides , we get

d = 96 miles

Hence , the total distance of the race, denoted by "d", is 96 miles

Find the sum of the even numbers from 1 to 300
a) 14,280
b) 22,650
c) 16,100
d) 15,460

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 22,650

So, option b for you

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of even numbers from 2 to 300, the formula we use is,

N ( N + 1 )

Where N is given by,

N = [( first number + last number)/2] - 1

So here, N = [ (2 + 300 ) / 2 ] - 1 = 150

And hence Sum = 150 * 151 = 22650

A student says that if 5x2 = 20, then x must be
equal to 2. Do
you agree or disagree with the
student? Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

I agree with the student's answer. "x" cannot be -2 because then it would make -20 which is not equal to 20:

5(-2)(2) = ?

-10 x 2 = ?

? = -20

-20 ≠ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Justificaiton:

5(x)(2) = 20

10(x) = 20

10/10(x) = 20/10

x = 2

Second Justification:

5(x)(2) = 20

5/5(x)(2) = 20/5

2x = 4

2x/2 = 4/2

x = 2

D. An angle is formed by two lines, two segments or two rays in one plane.

for f(x) evaluate each of the following:
a. f(0)
b. f(6)
show all your work

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

f(0) is just the function f(x) evaluated at 0, meaning we need to plug in 0 to the function.

What piece of this function should we plug 0 in? Well, because 0 is less than 5, plug it into the first piece.

so f(0) = 0 + 4 = 5

b)

By similar reasoning:

f(6) = 8

because 5 <= 6 < 7

Two angles are supplementary. The measure of the larger angle is 36 more than the measure of the smaller angle. Find their measures.

the answers are 72° and 108° but I need help showing my work​

Answers

x = smaller angle

x+36 = larger angle, since its 36 degrees more than the smaller angle

The two angles x and x+36 must add to 180 if they are to be supplementary (aka form a straight line)

So this means we can say the following:

(smaller)+(larger) = 180

(x) + (x+36) = 180

2x+36 = 180

2x = 180-36

2x = 144

x = 144/2

x = 72 is the smaller angle

x+36 = 72+36 = 108 is the larger angle

As a check:

smaller+larger = 72+108 = 180

which shows they are supplementary and it confirms our answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let the smaller angle be x

then the measure of larger angle will be x+36

x+x+36=180°(being supplementary angle)

2x+36=180°

2x=180°-36

2x=144°

x=144°/2

x=72°

now,

the larger angle x+36 = 72+36=108°
