On an uphill hike Ted climbs at 3mph. Going back down, he runs at 5mph. If it takes him forty minutes longer to climb up than run down, then what is the length of the hike? if possible, I would like a clear equation.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

He hiked 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

rate x time = distance

The distance up and the distance down are equal

3 mi/1 hr  x (h hours + 2/3 hr) = 5 mi/1 hr  x  h hours

3h + 2 = 5h

2 = 2h

h = 1 hour

3mi/hr  x 1 2/3 hr = 5 miles

5 mi/hr x  1 hr = 5 miles

600

Answers

100

From 5 men you can form 5x4x3x2 /(4!) different committes of 4 men = 5 different committes.

From 6 women, you can form 6x5x4 / (3!) different committes of 3 women = 20 different committes.

Total combinations: 5 x 20 = 100.
