Answer 6

How long will the travel before they meet?

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

solving.....

Answer 9

Can you give me an equation or something to use to figure it out

Answer 10

distance = rate x time or d = r*t

Answer 11

So is the equation 6=8x?

Answer 12

Can you explain it to me? Or give me the equation with the numbers in it please?

Answer 16

you still need help?

Answer 17

yes please

Answer 18

ok let me first finish off with someone else first and then Ill come here ^^

Answer 19

Ok thx

Answer 20

Well we will use \(\Large{D=r\times t}\) where D is \(\large{6}\)....we know the speeds that they both are traveling which is \(\large{8mph}\) and \(\large{10mph}\) but we dont know the time between them both so our equation is...

\(\Large{8T+10T=6miles}\) in which we add like terms...

\(\Large{18T=6miles}\) we now would divide by 18 on both sides...

Answer 21

So divide 6 by 18?

Answer 22

Yup^^ are there answer choices for this?

Answer 23

So tbh this isn't the actual equation..... Sorry... I wanted to change it up so that I could solve the same type of problem twice to make sure I understood it. In the real equation the lake is miles wide and the speed are 4 and 5 mph.

Answer 24

but yes there are answer choices to it

Answer 25

may i see them?

Answer 26

A. 1 hour, 24 minutes
B. 27minutes
C. 3 hours
D. 20 minutes

Answer 27

So I assuming the the equation is

9T=3 miles

Answer 28

So the answer is C right? 3 hours

Answer 29

Not really your equation is correct but the quotient is incorrect you would divide 3 by 9...\(\Large{\frac{3}{9}}\)...then you would multiply the simplified fraction by 60 to get how many minutes it took.....

Answer 30

So then it's 20 minutes?

Answer 31

Yup ^^

Answer 32

thanks

Answer 34

haha, thanks for showing me the choices:/

Answer 35

sorry :(
