Question

So helpful, thank you .

Answer 1

Well there is 120 minutes in 2 hours and Ava walks 2.75 in 2 hour i think you'd just multiply 2.75*1.20 because you would have to move the decimal over two places. and then take 7*.75.

Answer 2

Yes i thin that is correct

Answer 3

No. Ava walks at 2.75 miles per hour.
That means in 1 hour she would have walked 2.75 miles.
Therefore, in 2 hours she would have walked 2.75 * 2 = ? miles.

Answer 4

Oh sorry about that then Earthab

Answer 5

Wait but in 2 hours it equals 120 minutes not 1 hour

Answer 6

Yes.
Jayden runs at 7 miles per hour.
That means in 1 hour he will run 7 miles.
In 0.75 hour he will run 7 * .75 = ? miles

Answer 7

No need to bring minutes here kadkins15

Answer 8

Yes. Ava at 5.5 miles and Jayden at 5.25 miles.
At this point Jayden has covered the shorter distance.
If Ava stops and Jayden continues, he has to cover (5.5 - 5.25 = 0.25) miles to catch up with Ava.
If Jayden runs at 7 miles per hour how much time would it take for him to cover 0.25 miles?

Answer 9

It is division.
7 miles takes 1 hour
Divide both parts by 7
1 mile will take 1/7 hour
0.25 mile will take 0.25 * 1/7 hour = ?

Answer 10

0.25 * 1 / 7 is same as 0.25/7 = ?

Answer 11

It is 0.0357 hour

Answer 12

They are asking if Jayden will be able to catch up with Ava in 30 minutes which is 0.5 hour.
We just found Jayden will be able to catch up with Ava in 0.0357 hour which is much smaller than 0.5 hour.

So the answer to the question: Would the person who has gone the shorter distance be able to catch up within 30 minutes if the other stops?

is YES.

Answer 13

If you want to set up a formula first then we can do so.
Speed is defined as distance over time.
Let s be the speed, d be the distance and t be the time.
Then, by the definition of speed: s = d / t
multiply both sides of the equation by t
s * t = d
or
d = s * t
So for Ava, s = 2.75, t = 2
d = s * t = 2.75 * 2 = 5.5 miles.

For Jayden,
s = 7, t = 0.75
d = s * t = 7 * 0.75 = 5.25 miles.

Answer 14

So Ava is at 5.5 miles and Jayden is at 5.25 miles.
The difference is 5.5 - 5.25 = 0.25 miles.

We ca use the same formula to figure out how long it will take for Jayden to catch up with Ava if Ava has stopped walking and Jayden continues to run

Distance to be covered to catch up with Ava d = 0.25 miles
Jayden's speed s = 7. Find t.
d = s * t
0.25 = 7 * t
Find t.
divide both sides by 7 to isolate t:
0.25 / 7 = t
t = 0.0357 hour.

Answer 15

you are welcome. sure post the answer.

Answer 16

Looks fine to me.

There is one small ambiguity in the question though: Sometimes items bundled together and shipped to the same address can cost the same if the weight of the package is below some number. So if shipping 4 bouquets costs the same as shipping 1 bouquet then we will multiply only the cost of the flowers by 4 and just add shipping charge once. But since no additional details are provided what you did seems correct to me.

Answer 17

You too have a good one.
And you are very welcome.
